So, Colibri owners, what scope?
Just a thought; what scope will you pimp out your Hummingbird with? Snoopy people want to know. Well, OK, I want to know. 
thank you,

PS don’t forget to post reviews about the real-deal on this new configuration, and neat stuff like maybe sub-MOA groups at 70 yards with an Es of 9 fps for 70 shots! :fishing: 😳

Here here, I second all that Sir !
~ GKU, waiting but I’m not holding my breath on it though. 😳
Even a Bug Buster would suffice wasn’t it for that overly thick reticule.
I don’t think the HB is at it best at Benchresting at long range anyways so no 85x, lasers and heat seekers needed.
I’ll crown mine with a MTC Viper Connect when/if it ever comes out as semi-auto.
I went simple, just a Leapers Compact Swat with the 60mm wheel.
Sure looks like a nice scope for the HB and at 22 oz.

good find!

This will also be a good alternative over a side wheel that’s likely to interfere with the cocking lever on the Colibri.

works for me. :smilen:
GUK, where does one find the MTC Connect? http://www.cadwis.com/mtcconnect.html shipping in USA maybe still free.
Also, is that short eye relief too short for the Colibri? Don’t think so, this Russian has one on his bird http://forum.kalibrgun.ru/index.php?PHPSESSID=i5lhi7gbccmanmjruvthfabqg2&action=dlattach;topic=1978.0;attach=24383;image

PS I wonder if a bipod is even possible on a Colibri. Maybe not a benchrest type of airgun?

Villie what’s that Viper weigh?
Well , i don´t know if it´s THE best velocity for them but it works very well in my Compact.
Thank you Sir, that saved me trying to search for the best velocity for the Heavies (930-935 fps).

I should mention I have two scopes on hand: AEON 8-32×50 and the BSA 4-14×44 Tactical FFP. On a Colibri would there be an advantage on one of these over the other with regards to head-shot pest control at 40 yards (especially pest birds)? That’s why my interest in sub-MOA at longer distances. My little brain tells me sub-MOA at 70 yards means almost a guaranteed sub-MOA at 40 yards, and therefore the capability for clean head shots if I do my part. Too much thinking hurts the brain.
But if I have a 60 yardd shot, which one? A 20 yard shot, which one?darryl
I would think with practice it would be. But, with the MTC Viper Connect it should help even more with it’s Field of View being almost double to hold on to. :biggrinn:

I was thinking of using my BSA 4-14×44-30mm Tactical sold by MidwayUSA only:http://www.midwayusa.com/product/456482/bsa-tactical-mil-mil-rifle-scope-30mm-tube-4-14x-44mm-side-focus-1-10-mil-adjustments-first-focal-mrad-reticle-matte?cm_vc=ProductFinding Sorry for the long link. I’ve owned this scope for a bit over a year, and it previously sat on a .177 Daystate Harrier where I had no trouble collecting tight groups (sub-MOA) at 50 yards. 22.5 oz. Will weight that make the ‘Bird top heavy?.
