Very nice spotting scope - poor quality in manufacturing - - Konus Konuspot 20-60x100 Spotting Scope

Received the item and everything was packaged nicely and the general appearance was great.

The bad....Starting out my experience was not great and this is the reason for four stars. Once I removed everything and mounted the optic on a tripod I started to remove the dust cover from the eye peace. This is were things went wrong. I was physically unable to removed the dust cover by hand. With a bit of destruction to the cover I was able to remove it. The reason for the dust cover being on so tight was later found out that the threads (that are suppose to mount to a T2 adapter for a camera) are over sized. I am unable to use this optic with my camera do to this which is not the main reason I purchased it but still would of been nice to use this feature. Also goes to show that quality control is lacking with this company someone obviously jammed the dust cover onto threads that are oversize.

Now on to the good.... Once I was able to remove the dust cover and was able to actually look thru the optic I was amazed by the clarity, eye relief, and usability this scope had at 60X. I have not gone to the shooting range yet which is the main reason of this purchase but I easily see this being able to view targets at 300 yards and possibly beyond. All this being said the cost and view of this optic is well beyond what I expected for the price range and is the reason for such a high rating. If anything else would of been sub par I would of been returning it. I would imagine the quality control is the main reason for such mixed reviews.

Also the extra phone attachment and mount are a nice addition and added to my positive rating.
