Kent_keith 46 Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 There is one on eBay at the moment for £25. Be interesting to see what it goes for! Tim Thanks Tim, I'll take a look. It's the same person that sells them? I wonder where he gets them from? Lol Quote Link to post
A1WOC 212 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 (edited) I too have a viper connect on my HW100KT; it is on two 30mm Sports Match mounts and they keep it accurately zeroed. The only problem I have is mounting an auxiliary sighting aid onto the scope i.e. torch/NiteSite etc; because of the narrow space between the mounts, both mounts for the auxiliary aids have been reduced in width to fit. Not ideal but better than forking out £40 in my opinion. Regards, Steve Steve have you a NiteSite mate, Hi Keith, Yes, I have a NS50 for field shooting at night, and a homemade night sight permanently attached to my Brocock for ratting.

Kent_keith 46 Posted January 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hi Steve, Could you tell me how you connected the scope? Are you using the original rubber sleeve provided or did you buy the new one that Nitesite made to custom fit the viper connect? Quote Link to post
A1WOC 212 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Hi Steve, Could you tell me how you connected the scope? Are you using the original rubber sleeve provided or did you buy the new one that Nitesite made to custom fit the viper connect? Hi Keith, I bought a short eye relief scope sleeve dedicated to the Viper Connect direct from Nite Site Ltd. The price was £18 including delivery. The only problem I encountered when fitting was it is a very tight fit over the twist out eye relief of the scope. I overcame this by fitting the sleeve over a Vic vapour rub jar that I found was slightly larger than the scopes eye piece and soaking in very hot water for a few minutes. It now fits on the scope perfect without excessive force. Regards, Steve Quote Link to post

The overall length of the sleeve is 54mm, the depth of the cut out to fit the scope is 30mm, leaving 24mm where the camera module sits. The tube on the camera module is 20mm, so I guess the 4mm difference is the necessary clearance needed. Regards, Steve. Quote Link to post
