paulxpalir 0 Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 (edited) after have a few problems with my hawke 3x9-50 ir ao i decided to put my hand deep in my pockets and treat myself to a nice new MTC viper 3x12-44 it has all the usual freebees like sun shade, mounts and flip up scope covers. i took it out last night for its maiden shoot with chev (AAOC) on his shoot and got a 40 yrd hare and a 50 yrd kitt, not bad considering it was the first time in the field(after zeroing and basic range findiing in the garden). And yes that is a washing machine behind the hare. and tonight i just got the 1 pigeon about 35 yrds straight through the back of the head Edited July 16, 2009 by paulxpalir Quote Link to post
