    would the cost of repair be uneconomic? as labour charges are so high.

    Thumbs up Mtc

    My mate has two Vipers and having a look through his was all i needed to want one of my own and should be arriving soon,really looking forward to it.

    The time that i have been a member i have never seen Gary or Sammie being unreasonable in any threads and infact seem to bend over backwards to help and keep their customers happy

    I say thumbs up to them

    MTC Viper 4-16 x 50

    I have two of the above scopes and they are excellent, I've never had a problem they are fantastic scopes. I stupidly snapped the hinge on the lens cover and was sent one free of charge next day by Sammie. To me service dosn't get any better !

    You will not be dissapointed in my opinion. Fellow club members who have far more expensive German or American offerings sitting atop their pride and joy have all commented at how good the image quality actually is. Without a doubt the best scope I have ever owned, and believe me, Ive owned a lot over the years !

    I've literally just loaded my MTC Viper 4-16X50 (that I bought before christmas but have been waiting for mounts) onto my .243 and will be on my way to my shoot asap, have bore sighted it and hope I'm not far of the mark.

    PMSL....Clearly not mark

    Gary does not seem to take many prisoners. I have never met the guy, but he and sammy have always been more than fair and alway given more than I have asked.

    The only thing wrong with my Viper is just that....I only have one!!

    Actually, I suffered a similar black spot problem (there was something actually growing on the lens...yuck) with another make and they swapped it, no questions (it was a year old too).

    If you are reasonable, polite, and dont take the PI55, manufacturers and importers will usually help you....MTC just go the extra mile

    I currently have several issues with my hawke scopes. They aint as good as MTCs and I am finding they are a bit bulky and top heavy....and the rets are nothing like as fine....so when I have paid the wife back for my new camera....and bought my next scope from MTC (when they are ready) I am going to have to have a sale and change to mambas on those rifles I dont use on a bipod.

    The Viper is a big fellah and is dedicated to my rabbit splatting rig

    If I am going to spend an age peering through a scope, then the Viper is the scope for the job.

    On first read I thought you'd put you were going to spend an age PEEING through the scope. Had to read it twice but it made me chuckle.

    Well if Mr C can take an angle grinder to one, I am going to pee on one!!

    God, you would really get something growing on it then

    No, I tend to spend a lot of time waiting (kipping) behind the rifle on a pod in the scrub, so I spend a lot of time PEERING through it.

    Some scopes would give you real eye strain doing this, not the Viper (in my experience....other models of eyeball may differ)
