Excellent!
Brilliant product with a very good optical quality. Excellent brightness. Mechanically speaking I never had problems. Outstanding performances in all weather situations. Excellent value for money, as per all the Konus products.
daylight visible-ish, NOT daylight bright
Negatives:
Dark image at 6x.
No intermittent-off position for illumination, no motion activation.
The red illumination isn't daylight bright. It's barely daylight visible. It's sufficient to give you some contrast when aiming into an area that's partially in direct sunlight and partially in dark shadow. It's just enough illumination to be visibly red. It looks better at an indoor range. It's very usable indoors and suitable for a home defense carbine.
The blue illumination is very dim. It is so dim that when I was zeroing it at an indoor range I thought it broke, but no, it's just so dim that indoor lighting washed it out completely and made the blue color invisible. It's useless. I have no idea why they bothered with it. A properly selected green LED would have made it enormously more conspicuous and usable, in my opinion.
If anyone from Konus reads this, I know that this setup most likely has either two separate emitters or a single flush mount LED that can emit either red or blue. You might want to consider going with just a single LED. Watt of input power for watt of input power, a green LED is under almost all circumstances more visible to the human eye than red. Maybe speak to the engineers about swapping in a premium resonant-cavity or point-source LED module for illumination. Several manufacturers offer high-intensity LEDs in surface mount packages already designed for use in optical sights. It should be a simple 1:1 swap.
The 1x is usable for fast work in close...
