KonusM30 7282 Riflescope 8.5x-32x52mm Illuminated Zoom

A "sleeper" in terms of quality for the price. This scope is well made and heavy duty in terms of being a solid device. Crisp, clear optics and tight control rings/adjustments. Clean and defined turrets with solid clicks. This scope is a real value at this price.

I like this, I bear hunt and the scope was easy to sight in. I shoot at 30 to 50 yard and I set it on 30. Could see very clear and sharp.Very happy with it .Not hunted with it yet ,this September I'll see how good it is

The Konus M30 7282 Rifle scope is an amazing item for the price range. I purchased this item to be a interim scope while I save up the dollars for the now overpriced Nighthawk Tactical or Leupold sniper scopes which will run you well over $1,500.oo - $2000.oo for something comparable in magnification though much better in quality. Not too many years ago you could get a Leupold scope like this for under a grand but with the gun rush everyone is cashing in.PROS:The scope performed as advertisedYou are able to lock the turretsYou can also adjust the turrets back to 0 MOA markings (using the included allen wrench) once you are sighted in for quick MOA adjustments.Red mil dot illuminationBlue mil dot illumination (everyone who has tried it loves the blue)Lifetime Warranty in the USAHolds ZeroAlthough foreign made the company has a home base in the USA for supportCONS:Some blurriness at the maximum 24x-32x magnification that cannot be cleared up with the paralax adjustment (this clears up at around the 22x magnification)The lens caps are poorly madeThere is some wiggle in the turrets when locked (not enough to move a whole 1/8th of a MOA)The level bubble is very tiny and hard to see. It most likely cannot be seen at all in the dark.I mounted mine to my rifle using the Burris AR-P.E.P.R scope mount 1'' w/picatinny tops-matte mount (which is an amazing mount for tactical rifles) leveled it using the built in level, bore-sighted in at 100 yards and on my first shot hit my mid range target at the 65 yard mark. I further dialed it in on the 65 yard mark. Once that was done I moved out to my 100 yard target and made the minute adjustments for the 100 yard mark. Once that was done we shot a 6 shot grouping on a portable bench-rest (not the most stable of tables) the size of quarter using my bull barrel .223/5.56.One complaint made is that at maximum magnification it is blurry. I noticed this at first too until I realized there is also an adjustment dial on the eyepiece that allows for further adjustment. You have to take off the eyepiece lens-cap to see it is there though. This cleared up most of the blurriness although some still remained. We put at least a hundred rounds through the rifle that day and it held zero.This scope is capable of shots well outside the 100 yard range, and I can't wait to drag it out to a range with further distance and see how well it performs at the 300/400/500 yard marks and at night. Who knows, I may not need to buy that Nighthawk.For what you pay for it, you get a real performer of a product with only a few detrimental attributes.Last Edited: 05/29/2012

I ran out of MOA at 600 yards with a 300 Win Mag, scopes are really hard to figure out if the MOA capability if not listed & most aren't. I just figured that a scope with that power range would have enough MOA. I have a NightForce Bench Rest 12x42x50 that runs out of MOA at 500yrds! Go figure when most bench rest shooting is out to 1000 yrds. I had to put a 20 moa rail on my bench gun so I could dial in at 600 probably will run out around 800 with only a few clicks left so if I shoot 1000 I'll to get a 30 moa rail! I figured that when you put out $1500 for a scope it will perform beyond 600? With all that said I've owned other Konus products without any issues, this just didn't work for my application.

THE SCOPE ARRIVED AND IT DID NOT HAVE TARGET KNOBS AS IT WAS PICTURED... ALSO DOES NOT HAVE LEVELING BUBBLE... I AM RETURNING THE SCOPE...

This is an awesome scope for the price. You can't beat all the features you get for ~$350. Clarity is really good at max zoom for glass made in china. The elevation turret doesn't line up all the way but other than that this is an awesome scope for the money. Anyone who says otherwise is maybe forgetting the fact that it's not a Schmidt & Bender or Swarovski. Would definitely buy another Konus product.

I've tested this scope on high powered rifle and the quality is ok, but the elevation adjustment is not good. The elevation adjustment ramge is very small, so you cannot use it for short 100yd and then dial in 1000yd. Could not use this scope and had choice then return it.If it had more elevation adjustment range, it could be a very nice scope. Especially, the 2 color options of the reticle have advantages in certain light conditions.

It's a great 1000 yard scope !

This scope is amazing bang for your buck. Crystal clear optics (On par with my Zeiss HD5), solid, accurate and repeatable adjustments. Highly recommended.
