Reviews & Ratings for Konus KonusPro 8.5-32x52mm M30 Rifle Scopes — 18 reviews — Page 1

I have read a lot of reviews and have researched this scope on various sites before I made the purchase. So I bought this scope and when it arrived at my door I was wondering if I was going to send it back. I am an avid hunter and have been hunting for years. I'm using it on a Win mag 300 and I'll tell you It is a good scope for the money. The only complaints that I have is the level bubble I can barely see which doesn't really doesn't affect my hunting and also the lighted cross hairs are fuzzy when lighted too much, but if you dim them they work perfect. I read reviews that claimed the max zoom at 32 was fuzzy, apparently they had no idea how to focus it with the eye relief. So over all, it's withstanding the punishment that I'm putting it through with the 300 win mag and it's working great. If you are on a budget like me, then this is for you.

In theory this scope had the features I needed; side focus, high mag, tactical reticle, parallax down to 25 yards. However, the parallax would only be adjusted for 200 yards when the side wheel was on 500, the glass was fuzzy and dim, and the windage tracking required twice as much input as the elevation to shoot a box tracking test. I ended up returning the scope for a refund.
Pros: price
Cons: parallax adjustment, optical clarity, tracking

This is a great scope. The glass is as good or better than alot of scopes much pricier than it. It was clear all the way through the field of view. All the way out to a thousand. The only thing I didnt like was that it only came in MRAD. I shoot F Class and wanted a scope that has 1/8 MOA so I returned the scope but the scope was awesome for the money. If your looking for a scope with MRAD, this is about the best buy for your money.
Pros: awsome value for your money
Cons: only comes in mrad.

This is an update to my review of April 25, 2012. I have used it on a Savage 223 at 100, 200, 300 and 600 yds and am very happy with its performance. I bought it based on the reviews here. I did a box test at 200 yds for 16 clicks and got a perfect return to zero and an average click value of 0.36 = 0.1 mil as advertised. The elevation and windage adjustments were exactly the same. I have the mil dot reticle which worked well ranging a target at 300 yds (works at 12X), I am now used to the 0.1 mil clicks. I used Weaver Tactical 30mm Medium size mounts and the scope clears the barrel by 7mm. I could probably mount it lower? The objective OD is 59mm, ocular OD is 46mm. At 32X the sight picture is good. I can see the 223 holes in the high contrast targets to 300 yds. I can adjust the focus to 600 yds (set on infinite). I can barely see hits on steel at 600 but the 223 hits are a bit small. 30 cal hits are easier to see. I recommend this scope for target and varmint shooting to 600 yds in good light.
Pros: High power, clear, easy turrets, precise,
Cons: very long scope, a bit big

I bought this scope from a different source for less money. I have used it at 100, 200, and 300 yds on a Savage 223 and am very happy with its performance. I bought it based on the reviews here. I did a box test at 200 yds and got a perfect rectangle but not a square. The elevation and windage adjustments may not be exactly the same. Mine has the mil dot reticle which worked well ranging a 30" and an 18" target at 300 yds, and the clicks are 0.1 mil which I am now used to and perfectly happy with. I used Weaver Tactical 30mm Medium size mounts and the scope clears the barrel by 7mm. I could probably mount it lower? The objective OD is 59mm, ocular OD is 46mm. At 32X the sight picture is good and I can adjust the focus at 300 yds. Have not used it past 300 yet.
Pros: Accurate adjustments, repeatable, clear view, solid fittings
Cons: Long scope

EXCELLENT optics for Prarie Dog shoots. Meets my expectations.
Pros: Excellent optics for Prarie dog shoots. Meets my expectations.

At its former price point it was a real bargain. Now it is good value for your money. I use it on my target AR and it is almost as useful as my Barska 60X spotting scope for seeing holes at 200 yards. It is not a $1,000 scope, but at $500 it is very competitive with anything else below $700
Pros: High magnification and all the bells and whistles
Cons: Heavy

I'll start with a minor issue I had right form the start, my elevation we off and was nearly mechanically maxed down to get zero. Called customer service and sent it in and they shipped a new one right way, no hassle or questions.

Compares well to say Bushnell, Nikon, and Super Sniper scopes I have. No its not a Nightforce or US Optics but its also 1/3 the cost.

Passed the box test and did return to zero. The 1/8 clicks are nice when shooting 300+ yards but a hassle lower since you usually need to do a lot of turning. Likely due to it being 1/8 moa the turret clicks feel a little mushy. The locks on them seem to hold well and with decent rings this can be removed from an picatinny rail and put on to almost the same zero consistently. I also did not notice POI movement as I adjusted the power.

Setting the turrets to zero involves moving some small screws and while not hard if rushed or forced I could see ruining the retaining screws pretty easy.

Overall scope has a lot of features for the price point. The mall ninjas will rave on this scope and the serious distance shooters will not like its top magnifications. I would get another of these when needed.
Pros: good optics to ~28ish power, illum reticle, return to zero tested
Cons: mushy turret clicks, parallax little off

I got this scope for its price tag and features. This rifle spends 95% of its life with aperture sights. I wanted a scope to load test and use when I went to the 1000 yd range. My first overall impressions were pretty good. I knew going in this would not be a Nightforce or US Optic. There are a few places where this comes up short compared to the more elite scopes. It is heavy, the level is pretty useless and the image fades out past 25X but these are manageable. Do not expect this to be or let people tell you it is the same as the high dollar variants BUT it is a decent quality scope with a ton of features at a reasonable price. Would not have a problem recommending this to someone on a budget and can deal with the weight.









Pros: Price, Features
Cons: Weight, Gets Blurry and Higher Mag

great scope for for what it cost, very clear glass upto 28 power. gets a little bit cloudy above this power.audible clicks on turret could be a little louder.set screws in turrets very finicky it should be a srew holding it down like the weaver scopes that can be removed easily and set to zero.for the money it it is a great scope on par with a lot more expensive brands.would recommend.
Pros: very clear glass great illuminated reticle
Cons: clicks on turrets could be more audible
