About MTC Optics
MTC Optics is a premium brand in the optics world. Their mantra – Designed by Shooters for Shooters – could not be more apt. So their scopes are used by airgun, rimfire and centrefire shooters across all genres – sporting, hunting, plinking, target and extreme competition. MTC offers a vast range of models and designs to suit your every shooting need.
Scope Features
Besides the immersive sight picture provided by the short eye-relief of the MTC Viper Connect 3-12×32 Scope, it’s also very bright. This is down to the scope’s coated optics and 32mm objective lens. This lens features an integral tulip hood to stop reflections and also comes with a pop-off rubber cap.
At the eyepiece, the ocular lens features quick-focus dioptre adjustment (+/-2). It comes with a concertina rubber eyecup to complement the close-up eye-relief.
The scope features a stepless zoom, from 3x magnification to 12x magnification. (Note: A 4-16x Viper Connect is also available if you require more magnification.)
MTC’s exclusive SCB2 reticle (see below) is glass-etched and located in the second focal plane. Its multi-stadia crosshair is super-fine for precise aiming, and the central cross can be illuminated in red. Additionally, the brightness level can be adjusted to suit the lighting conditions and/or target background.
The MTC Viper Connect 3-12×32 Scope also features side parallax adjustment down to 10 yards. This eliminates aiming errors which are particularly prevalent at closer ranges.
Its elevation and windage turrets are low profile. Screw off dust caps reveal finger-adjustable knobs with verniers that are resettable to ‘0’. This Viper Connect’s turret adjustment is 1/4MOA, so one click adjusts the point of impact 1/4″ at 100 yards. This allows a super-precise zero to be achieved.
The 3-12x model also features a unique elevation angle indicator to assist with tricky angled shots.
Suitability
This scope’s illuminable, multi-stadia reticle and fine crosshairs, immersive sight picture and extended magnification range make it ideal for both hunting and target shooting. However, its short eye relief means it is not suitable for recoiling rifles.
SCB2 reticle
Version 2 of MTC’s Small Calibre Ballistic reticle (SCB2) offers many aimpoints. It also has a floating cross for clear and accurate target acquisition. This can be illuminated in red, making it ideal for use on small targets.
The 1 MIL square around the cross gives a rapid acquisition for small, fast-moving targets such as rats.
The SCB2 is ideal when shooting at small targets, when bullet drop becomes critical, or when you need a very precise aimpoint. It is also useful for range-finding with the bracketing system.
Mounting
The MTC Viper Connect 3-12×32 Scope is not supplied with mounts. Due to its unique design, MTC Optics recommends this BluePrint One-Piece Mount. This has been designed specifically for the Viper Connect model.
