Konus 'Scopes - Any Opinions?

[spclark]

Got wind today of a sale Creedmoor's running on Konus optics.

I'm looking to add a 30mm up to at least 24x & their M30 8.5-32x52 is priced right if it'll work for "any/any" at 1,000 yds.:

I had a Konus 6.5-25X and the one thing that made me find a new home for it was the adjustments were so soft that it was hard to detect a click. This is unacceptable under any circumstances where you are using the knobs. When I first got it, I thought that there had to be something wrong with the one I had so I sent it back and they sent a new one to me. It was as bad as the first, so the new owner got a really good deal. My target scopes are NightForce. That way I know that I can trust a "click" during a match. I have heard a lot of good about their spotting scopes though.
Just my personal thoughts,

I can confirm.

The spotting scope Konusspot 100 is the only good one. It is a good item with good price. With it I can see holes on paper target at 500 metres and count deer antlers points up to 1,500 metres if the light is good. The other spotting scopes are not as good. Pretty dark images.

Leave the rifle scopes on the shelf.
I had one 3-12 x 40 that I used on a Walther .22 match rifle. After a while the lens with the engraved crosshair rotated to 45 °.
The gunsmith changed the scope with another identical one. After a while the problem happened again.

The gunsmith got it back and gave me a couple of powder boxes..
