Packaging is not konus’ strong suit. - Konus KONUSPRO-EL30 4-16x44 LCD Rifle Scope w/10 Interchangeable Reticles

I purchased this scope for an AR 15 build. Scope sounds interesting. I received this on 2/7/2022. I unboxed it just to look it over for any shipping damage. First thing, the packaging is sub par. There are no supports at either end of the scope, it is just wrapped in white thin foam and then in a plastic bag. So the scope can slide back and forth in the box during transit. Originally this scope was priced at $488, now it is $209. Still the packaging looks like it was for a $29 scope not a 200-500 dollar scope. I have not mounted it, only checked for damage. Will update this after a range day.
