scotttomo Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) Just a quickie for you helpful chaps. Think i've made up my mind bout a new scope, the mtc viper 4-16x50. But was wondering if the mounts included in the package would be high enough to clear the bull barrel on my superten? Thanks in advance for any replies Scott.

chrispti Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 If you are getting the scope from a gun shop see if they have a super10 in stock and ask if they will check it for you. If it doesn't fit order some high mounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotttomo Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 A shameless bump and addition to this topic. Just worried with gettin the 50mm model that the mounts wont be high enough as to not touch the barrel on my s10 bbk. Was goin to order from uttings or somewhere else online as there is no gunshops near me , but uttings has no info on the mount height . Thanks again in advance, regards, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdubya Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 the mounts that come with the viper are its only flaw , buy alternatives straight off. cheers KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotttomo Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 You got a viper KW? Think i'm almost set on getting one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdubya Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 You got a viper KW? Think i'm almost set on getting one yes I have one on my .243 its a good scope for the money and I like the reticle although some others dont? the mounts that come with it are very poor, otherwise its faultless and the after sales service of MTC is an example of how it should be done . cheers KW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checkmate Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I have a Mamba on my FN12, the mounts are far superior to kdubya's (sorry!), they recently changed the supplied mounts to be better ones. As for mounting height, there is more than sufficient room between the scope and barrel on my rifle, but then I don't have a bull barrel. I would highly recommend MTC's scopes though, regardless.

Scott they are a fantastic scope and yes the lens should clear your bull-barrel.I sold mine to my father which was`nt so fantastic because it was a massive mistake but i`ll be buying another one shortly!As i said mate,this is a fantastic scope!!!!

col s10 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 i think its too much mag for an air rifle :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotttomo Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 (edited) i think its too much mag for an air rifle :unsure: Care to elaborate cols10? I'm not sure I understand why it's too much magnification? Fancy educating me? Regards, Scott Edited January 18, 2009 by scotttomo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEINVISIBLESCARECROW Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Check the mounts supplied with the scope. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=2noVkhVTlqw&...feature=related http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Zj70tzt-yZc&...feature=related I found mine were nice & chunky, up to the job but not suitable for my two airrifles I checked them with. MTC Vipers are good scopes. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=k3ysF-SVygs&...re=channel_page Happy with my Philipeano Simmons for now though.

col s10 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 well mate at the ranges us airgunners are going to be shooting at,you wont need beyond about 7 magnification.the reason i say this is cos i bought a scope with the same mag,lovely scope,but ive never used beyond 7 mag.i have two other rifles,one has a leupold 3 9 50.the other a 3 10 44.these are plenty,and if you want to do close range stuff,you are going to need an even lower mag.i also own a s10bbk,the 3 10 44 ir is on top of it.and i would go secondhand mate.you will get lots more for your money.hope this helps.Col Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEINVISIBLESCARECROW Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Got to aggree with that. I use 9 or 10 mag though @ 15yds plus for air use & 50 to 100yds for rimmie use. Some of my scopes go to 24 mag, this is handy if your bored & want to scan at distance or watch that distant rabbit, crow or whatever. The times I've watched the local Buzzards. Glad I'm not stuck with low mag scopes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotttomo Posted January 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 Well thats thrown a spanner in the works cheers col!! I see what you mean bout close range stuff needing a lower mag for more field of vision. But if i can hit paper targets at 50yds whats stopping me needing the extra mag on quarry? And what distances should my s10bbk not be used beyond to aviod unclean kills? Not sure of exact power of the rifle but it's below 12ftlbs. Cheers for the info by the way i'm still learning Every day's a school day Regards, Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
