Yep – that´s what the name “Connect” implies : Your face connects to the scope. Or short eye relief – you decide. 😎

I bought the MTC Viper connect a few months ago… to go with the Edgun Lelya I had ordered shortly before.
It’s still in the box, took it out once or twice and yes, as someone mentioned, it has really short eye relief but that was also the reason for buying it.
We’ll see how it turns out… I’m supposed to receive the Lelya next week so by then I will know a lot more.

You are right Sir Ville about Delta. I have had Delta titanium 4-16×42 on HW77k in past but I sold it together with the gun – I was crazy 🙁 😳 Now, I would not sell. This Chinese copy of leupold has similar picture like this delta titanium but is not the same 🙁

I think Dr. Steele is the first one in the States to own a Delta Titanium 4.5-30 x 50. I talked him into it so i hope he´ll like it. He ordered one from Europe so it wasn´t the cheapest option but now he atleast have some quality glass that the next guy at the range definitely doesn´t own. Yet …
Those are really fine scopes so they´ll be discovered by Yanks soon enough – too good to ignore.

I had one of those on my EdGun. I MISS IT !
Thankfully i have a couple of Delta´s to ease the blow: 2x Titanium 4.5-30×50 and a Titanium 6-24×42 AO.
But i loved the 10×44 Viper… 😕

I just bought an Optisan Viper 10×44 SCB and Med mounts for my new WSTL .25 Cricket.
I have a Leapers 4-16x40AO with high mounts on the .22 WST Std.

A regular Viper would work much better for these BP´s. MTC is a good scope,the Viper has the SCB reticle and all. Hawke SW seems to be the most widely used scope though but probably since this is an American forum and the MTC hasn´t yet gathered a crowd like in Europe.
Want to invest more money ? Go for Delta Titanium. Far better optics than both aforementioned and made in Japan.

Some posts ask what you’re asking. Some discuss specific scopes for their bullpups. Some posts
show big pictures with the scope visible. Some discuss scope mounts for the scope that will go
on their bullpup. Some posts have discussions on bullpups with the owners telling what scope
they use on it at the bottom of their posts along with what other guns they own. You should
get a pretty good idea that pretty much any scope will do, depending on what you’re going to do
with your Edgun, Kricket, or Bobcat.

Connect has veeeery short eye relief. What I heard from some people… is blured on edges may be it is due to wide field of view 🙄

If you Search on scopes in this section we just went through some huge threads on the scopes we reviewed and picked. MTC Vipers were discussed among many others.

What scopes do you guys use on your Bullpups?

Anyone use a MTC Viper Connect?
