Good scope for an airgun or rimfire - Konus Konushot 3 3-12x40 Rifle Scope 30/30 7235 for Shotgun Rifle Scope

In our market (NZ/AU), this scope has 3/8" rings to mount it on an airgun or a rimfire, which it suits really well. I changed from a Nikko Sterling Silver Crown 4x32 to this Konus Konushot 3-12x40 and find ita good upgrade on an airgun. Nice feature of finger adjustable turrets without needing a coin to adjust. Clear reticle with good eye relief.

I like the 30/30 reticle that I find simple and clear to use compared to complex BDC and illuminated reticles now. Range of magnification at 4x zoom is good too at 3-12x40 that's more flexible than 3-9x40 or 4-12x40 (at 3x zoom).

Nicely matt finished tube and coated lenses, with clear and yellow scope caps to look through, and 3/8" rings are nicely finished with felt lining for the scope tube to not scratch it. I think anyone looking to mount this on a centerfire should look at th Konus Pro scope which I also looked at. This has an engraved reticle so it won't move with recoil and it has a BDC reticle for holdover at longer ranges on a centerfire, but not needed for a smallbore.

I get a bit fed up of PRC Made in China jibes. I've got Calloway Golf Clubs that are high quality and Made in China. It's just a fact of world trade now that major manufacturers assemble in China as much for capacity as cost reasons. I remember looking wishfully at costly variable scopes Made in Japan in the 1980s that I couldn't afford. This is a good variable scope for the money and is easily as good as Made in Japan 1980s scopes that I couldn't afford way back then.
