MTC Viper Connect

**Nemesis** · 22-10-2010, 04:40 PM

I've been experimenting with fitting the little blighter on a variety of air rifles and came close to throwing the scope out of the window at times. On a Rapid Tactical, I managed to get it roughly aligned with my right eyeball after removing the rifle's adjustable butt pad and sliding the comb as far to the right as it would go. If I could only have had part of my nose bridge surgically removed and induced Theoben to make a set-back 30mm mount, the combo would have been range-ready. Luckily for my sanity, the Connect fits much better on a new-style HW100KT and, once I can source some significantly lower mounts, this combo will be very promising. I'm finding the exit pupil on the top mag setting to be very tiny indeed but, on 3x, the thing comes up to the eye quite readily without too much faffing about. It's a shame the bullpup concept fizzled out, as this scope would be ideal.

Just fitted the connect to my verminator using a weaver rail and weaver mounts and it is superb. Looks a bit odd but seems to suit this rifle better, looks wise than the MK4. Used it today for 100 or so pellets and am so happy with my purchase. With the verminator you can offset the butt section slightly allowing me to keep my head in a natural position.

I agree, it looks pretty weird and of course the scope is sitting very high relative to the bore. However, if the scope is positioned OK relative to the shooter's eye, that's as good as it's going to get. I've collected my low 30mm mounts from the AGC today and will get the Connect set up on my HW100KT. I'm itching to get the thing out into the field after all this experimentation.

The only reason it is so high is that it is the only mounts i could get in a hurry.
I was a bit concerned about the height but after shooting with it today can confirm that this is how it is going to stay. The thing just fits me great and is deadly accurate. Every report i have read says to use the high mounts on the verminator anyway. These high mounts are not as high as my regular airgun dovetail mounts so with the added height of the weaver rail are really only 6mm higher than i would have had a conventional scope. ( did that make sense?

) I may try medium height rings if i can get a hold of a set for a few quid

I still need to try the whole weaver rail set up on the MK4. If i can get it as good and comfortable as i can on the verminator i will just purchase another weaver rail and swap the scope from rifle to rifle ( a 2 min job)

Just as a side note.... On 3x mag i can just see the silencer creeping into view. This really isn't as much of a distraction as you may think.

On my AirWolf it is very close

to Mag, at this height on x3 you can see most of the barrel

So, how many of you have binned the lens cap?

Why bin the lens cap?

Second time in a rifle bag it fell off, it clips in very weakly, so why have a cap on the front when the rear lens has none?
