KONUS KonusPro Hunting Riflescope | 1" Tube Diameter, Multi-Coated Optics, Waterproof, Shockproof, Fogproof, Fast Focus Scope

Bought this scope thinking it would be a perfect fit for my Ruger American Ranch in 7.62x39 and was not disappointed. Found the optics to be surprisingly clear even in late evening conditions. I'm used to Nikon scopes and this one gives them a run for their money. I LOVE the reticle. The diamond really helps me stay centered and the inner crosshairs are very fine. The fact that they're etched into the glass makes it that much better. I've had 2 similar priced scopes where the reticle broke and fell over but this scope is designed to handle serious recoil. I wanted a low powered scope for this caliber and I originally tried a Redfield 2x7 that I had laying around was not satisfied with my groups. It seemed like the parallax was messing with me really bad at different distances so I tried this one on a whim and at nearly $100 cheaper and only 5x magnification my 100 yard groups were cut in half and I was able to consistently get 1 inch groups if not better. I really think the reticle was the deciding factor. Another thing I love about this scope was the very noticeable clicks on the adjustment turrets. No mushyness whatsoever and it tracked perfectly when I was getting it zeroed in. I can't tell you how many scopes I've had that cost more but the turrets were so spongy you weren't sure if you made the right number of clicks or not. I probably shot 60 rounds or so after getting this thing dialed in and so far it's held zero no problem which is not surprising considering the recoil of 7.62x39 is much less than what the scope was designed to handle. I see no reason why it shouldn't be rock solid for my needs. The power is perfect for that caliber too and on the low setting everything up close is clear with a good field of view for fast shooting or I can dial it up and put it right where I want at 100 yards. I had never heard of Konus before but I will be buying another one of these in the near future. I just have nothing to complain about at this price point. Well done.

Mounted it nicely on my mossberg, and I shot very accurate with it first time on the range!

What a scope! Hands down KonusPro scopes are worth well more than they cost. I am a "most bang for the buck" kind of guy. So a few years ago I purchased this scope. I have purchased 4 more since then. All have been great on my .308 and 5.56 rifles. I have never missed a deer wit this scope... as a matter of fact every neck/heart/lung shot I have taken between 50 to 200+ yards have hit on target. About 15 deer in 3 years with zero misses. I cannot personally speak of 300 plus yard shots... but then again I am not doing that kind of hunting in Texas. My buddy who saw my scope at the range decided to get the KonusPro 550 4-16x50 did drop a large buck at 400 yards. So I am confident if I needed to the scope will go as far out as my personal shooting capabilities will take me. At the range this is dead on... less than 1 inch groups at 100 yards. I shoot a DPMS G2 Hunter .308... the combination of rifle and scope make my rig a tack driver. My AR10 style rifle was not cheap. Plus I shoot suppressed with an ACC 7.62 SDN-6 suppressor. So a lot of money in the rig.... and a "cheapo" scope on it. Why? When I made the move from my old standard deer rifle to the DPMS G2 Hunter I splurged on a nice Leupold 3-9x40 VX2 scope. Not super high dollar but a great scope none the less. I took it to the range and hated it. The glass was very nice. A step up from the Konus for sure. But the magnification was a step back from what I experienced in the KonusPro. So I purchased another KonusPro and have not looked back. Don't get me wrong... I wanted to love the Leupold... and I did for some specific reasons. But in the end the KonusPro made me feel far more confident in shooting and with eyes that are now 46 years old... the extra magnification helps. I will never fork over my hard earned dollars for a $1000, $1,500 or higher dollar scope. I won't even spend $500 for doing what I do. (Hunting deer, hogs, etc). I am not in a combat scenario where life and death depend on the quality of my optics. That being said the KonusPro is more than enough for the real world of hunting. It is recoil proof with an etched reticle... plus fog and waterproof. And adjustments from 15 yards to 200+. The glass is more than clear enough.... not as nice as the Leupold... but on par or better than Nikon, Vortex, etc. For $100 you cannot go wrong. I suggest that if you are looking for a scope then buy this right now.... and try it. And if you do not like it then Amazon is GREAT for returning an item. So no real concern about losing any money over the effort. I also used the Nikon M223 scope mount which costs about $65. I like the UTG Pro mounts too ($20).... but the Nikon just looks nicer and plus it is a 1 piece unit that is very solid. It will help in clearance when using on an AR style platform. The bottom line... you DO NOT have to spend twice the money on a scope compared to the rifle for great results. I think that the industry created that myth for force us all into believing that to make more money off of us little guys! (Kind of like the jewelry industry created the myth that the husband needs to spend two months salary for a ring for his wife.... and people fall for that BS all the time!) Good luck! Enjoy your KonusPro! - John

I have received two of these from Amazon, the first one was sealed in the factory package and I removed it to look and see how clear it was, well it wasn't at all, it looked like it had frost spots all around the inside lens. I returned it to Amazon and the second one has almost similar issues but had been opened, had dirt on the lens cap, not even in the plastic or bubble wrap that it should have been in. I am awaiting the 3rd one, if it isn't better than the other 2 I'll chalk Konus up as poor scope makers. I did get a 44mm scope at the same shipment that is clear as any Nikon that I have looked through but it didn't have the yardage markers that was advertised to be in the reticle.

If you aren’t in a position to fork out hundreds of dollars for a vortex, give these scopes a try! I’ve had this one for a while now, used it on a couple of different guns, and couldn’t be happier with it. It sights in easily and holds zero well. I like the extra eye relief, good clarity, and the crosshairs are actually much finer than the picture shows.

Is a nice scope for the price put on my shot hun for Turkey hunting
