MTC Connect Scope Mount

MTC Connect Scope Mount

However the layout of the saddle and the unique rheostat control being ‘crammed’ onto its short 30mm body tube, plus the need to have the scope set on the rifle for ‘zero’ eye-relief, meant scope mounting was a major problem.

Although not ideal, it could be mounted using standard mounts positioned on the front section of the scope, but eventually a one-piece mount was made available with a ‘set-back’ double and single mount ring that held the scope much more securely and was compatible with virtually any PCP air rifle. Even so, you still had a problem mounting a light or laser to the scope body-tube.

MTC has now developed the design idea further to cater for this. Once again precision-manufactured from aircraft grade aluminium, the black anodised one-piece mount retains the same width for the double screw front and single strap rear ring. On the new ‘Connect Mount’ design, the top cradle of the front mount has a 30mm long run of Weaver/Picattiny style mount rail – a base to allow you to fit the previously mentioned accessories.

As many know, the original Connect scope is now joined by another similar optic, the Connect SL. Although the IR unit is moved further back towards the zoom ring on this model, to achieve a good secure fit and correct position can still be awkward. Good news then that the new Connect Mount suits both.
