We’ve been using the MTC Optics Viper Pro scope on some current projects, including our review of the Hatsan BullBoss .25 caliber air rifle. It’s a nifty design, and while not limited to airgun use, it makes a great solution for pellet aficionados. We’ll get into this in a lot more detail in an upcoming feature. For now, here’s a quick look at what it does.
This revolutionary new scope contains the best and most sophisticated turret design available anywhere, the top turret contains a micro gearbox rotating at a 3-1 ratio – this means that three rotations of the top turret translates to a single rotation or the indicator drum making it much easier to know where you are in terms of rotations. Its turret ‘window’ shows a customisable ribbon that shows exactly the information you want from Mills to MOA – even yards or metres can be displayed: It’s your choice.
