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
The MTC Viper Pro 3-18×50 Scope is based around a 30mm, aircraft-grade aluminium tube. This is a zoom telescopic sight, with a six-fold variable magnification range of 3x power to 18x power. Its objective lens is 50mm, so the target image is bright even in low-light conditions.
It features MTC’s own SCB2 multi-aimpoint reticle that ensures plenty of aimpoints to counter trajectory and windage deviation without obscuring the target. Its crosshair is set in the second focal plane (SFP), which can also help with range-finding when using the bracketing system.
IR Illuminated Reticle
The MTC Viper Pro 3-18×50 Scope comes with an illuminated reticle (IR). Operated by a push button, the centre of the reticle lights up in red. Also, you can dial in six, different brightness levels to suit any lighting scenario. So you can keep shooting long after the sun has dipped below the horizon!
The scope also sports click-stop elevation and windage adjustment turrets. These adjust in 1/4MOA. 1 click = 1/4in at 100yds. Additionally, the Viper Pro features a SMART Elevation turret.
SMART Elevation Turret
The revolutionary Viper Pro scope boasts the most sophisticated Elevation turret design on the market! It houses a micro gearbox that rotates at a 3:1 ratio. So three rotations of the top turret translates to a single rotation of the vernier. This means you are less likely to inadvertently dial back to you zero point from the wrong direction and end up being a whole revolution wrong!
Besides a resettable vernier, the turret also features a selector switch that lets you choose between ‘click’ adjustments, a ‘free spin’ adjustments and a lock. The latter stops the scope’s zero from accidentally being dislodged.
But that’s not all! The Viper Pro’s SMART Turret also has a ‘window’ that shows a customisable ribbon. A ribbon is included, but you can also create your own and mark your chosen ranges with a pen. Additionally, MTC offers a customisable ribbon service that lets you calculate your combo’s exact settings which you can then print up with exactly the information you want – from yards to metres, MILs to MOA!
Sidewheel Parallax
Parallax error is a major cause of inaccuracy. The Viper Pro is equipped with a sidewheel that lets you easily dial out the error. On higher magnifications, parallax adjustment can also help you range-find.
The Viper Pro’s parallax adjusts down to just 10 metres. This is particularly useful for airgunners who often shoot at close range.
Lens Covers
The MTC Viper Pro comes complete with a set of magnetic flip covers. Additionally, the rear cover contains a 2x magnifier. This helps you read the parallax and turret verniers.
