Phill-W68 547 Posted March 6, 2018 Report Share Posted March 6, 2018 Bit of help needed, has anyone used the above NV on a MTC VIPER CONNECT 3-12X32 scope? Ive been told you have to cut down the rubber eyepiece due to the next to no eye relief on the scope, also its a fine crosshair on the connect, is it still clear through the nitesite, cheers....

just-A-snap 1,269 Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Is the eyepiece not detachable? I always thought that it was. All the very best 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is the Viper Connect Rubber Eyepiece not detachable? If it is just the NV, then it is a question of how much focus leeway it has to focus on the reticle.

All the very best Yes mate, the rubber eyepiece on the mtc is detachable, I just wondered how much of the nitesite eyepiece I would have to cut off to get the right focus, that's why I asked if anyone had used the combo before, before I fork out £600-£700, because the crosshair on the mtc are very fine..... ?

just-A-snap 1,269 Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 (edited) Once the NiteSite tube is on the scope the camera will fit in it without any problems as the tube has a stop point and it will not travel any further. If new RT unit the focus is on the wheel on the side, if older units then you have to do it by focusing the lens. This may be of some help All the very vest Edited March 8, 2018 by just-A-snap 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
philpot 5,000 Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 Right Phill, I was up for one of these scopes until I was told that they are NOT suitable for add on NV so I didn't buy one. Now the bloke who told me that was an idiot by the name of Tony Belas, MD of MTC / Daystate. On my next visit to MTC stand at another show, I spoke to the same dick again who on this occasion said it was fine to use an add on NV despite the web site stating it is not suited.............................................. Nitesite now produce an adjustable solid camera holder which would allow you to set the camera where it was needed but when I phoned Nitesite for a price, I was somewhat taken back as they thought it was going to be about £70 but this was before it had been launched so perhaps it is a better price than that and worth a phone call. https://www.nitesite.com/products/accessories/eye-relief-adjuster Hope that helps.
