[QUOTE="archer786, post: 538667, member: 19707"] Ok so I finally got some trigger time with the konus... As originally stated the scope is solidly built. So here's my final eval. It's a good scope, especially for under $300. I put it on my 7mag and set zero at 100yds with some proven 150gr federals let the gun set then took a cold bore shot (punched the bull) and then tested some 168gr handloads that kick like a mule. 60 rounds test loads later. I let the gun set then took another file bore shot at the same target with the 150s and I was very pleased with the result... Both cold bore shot almost cut the same hole... So that being said, the scope held up to some stout loads and held zero. Tracking is good, I didn't measure but just from eye ballin it when I moved it a full moa the bullet moved a full moa and returns to zero. Glass is nice and clean. On par with my leupold. I do however have a few minor issues with it that could be better but this is a low budget scope so such things are to be expected. When the sun is out the shade is a must or everything is hazy. The turrents are a lot harder to zero on the hash marks than they should be. Takes about 10 minutes of work to get them where they need to be. The quit focus on the ocular does not adjust far enough for me so when I have all the parallax out the target is a touch fuzzy.. the range markings on the knob are not accurate either. At 100yds it'll say about 180ish. The internal level is a useless add on. Can't see it and its not even level with the crosshairs.. All in all its a good scope, I like it. The dislikes are only a minor inconvenience and can be overlooked and felt with with minimal efforts. If your picky it may not be the scope for you. I will most likely get another one in the future because for $300 its a **** good scope and does what its supposed to. For someone that's on a budget or doesn't wanna drop a grand plus on a scope I would definitely recommend the m30 [/QUOTE]
