Nice review Ryan, been thinking of getting one of these.
Can you tell me (a) where you got it from, and (b) how much?
PM me if you prefer..
Thanks

Many thanks for your good reviews. I'll have to look through one though before buying, especially with regards to focus and parallaxing below Leupolds stated 50 yards. May be a while though for I don't know anyone up here who owns one.

Good review, Ryan, and a very tempting investment, as my eyes are not too great and I find the most important factor is the resolution so I can see what is a kill zone and what is just pellet marks. I am also red-green colour blind so every little helps! I hope to have a peek through the Leup sometime soon, if that's alright with you. I spoke to Pete about obtaining one but at the Leup price, I need to look through one first and be sure that I can get on with the ret! Hopefully, I will come up to Kibworth on the 26th but I cant confirm yet. I had a Falcon Menace with a 0.5 mildot ret for a few days, but couldnt get on with the ret or the slightly soft resolution, compared to the EB Sniper res (best) or MTC(very close 2nd). The SCB ret is still my favourite by far!!!! Plenty of aim points, easy to see against dark backgrounds, (you can even light it up!)but not too cluttered. Don't like the EB mildots, but like the DOF and optical resolution. Would really love a Premium Super Viper in 10x42 or 40 with AAA++ (Leup level) grade lens for greater res and more DOF as you cant beat MTC for customer service and sensible prices!
Cheers

You're more than welcome to mate, I've got a 3.5-10 mil dot MK4 on my Elan which'll give you a good idea on the difference in ret. It's always best to try a few before you buy especially when you're spending so much cash!
A premium super Viper would be something I'd be very interested in as well for the same reasons as you.
I'll be at the Diabolical too if you can make it?

Very kind offer, thanks. I may be up at The Diabolical so I could have a look at the 10x40 then. I am not really a mildot fan, so I am trying to look through as many tactical-type rets as possible. PS Do you think we could have a BBS poll for a Super Viper or wouldn't it be allowed?

Thank you for the offer Ryan. Probably be May before I make a national. What we need is for one to send one up to our club on approval. Now there's an old fashion notion that gives my age away. It will need to be much better than my SS which I've used now for four years. Tried others for a single comp but always ditched them.
