landrover 6 Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 ihave the 6-24x56 viper and had no bother, did you focus it on the highest mag,also having it that high it will magnify all the movement all that much more Quote Link to post

Mr_Logic 5 Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 MTC have a good reputation. I have a faulty Viper and they will collect it and replace FOC, even though I didn't even buy it from them. It's very good service, definitely worth a call. Quote Link to post
