Any one have experience or know anything about konus scopes? I'm interested in the konus spot 80, seems like it might be a good bet 'til i know if i want a more expensive one. Thnanks - PAul
 
don't bother!!!

Well I went ahead and bought the scope but i'm sending it back - looks like you do get what you pay for! Nice crisp image at 20X, though it's like looking down a tunnel, image expands as you zoom in but won't snap into focus so basically a waste of time. I could buy a more compact 20x that would be fine. Also this thing is BIG. So now i'm looking for a modestly priced better quality scope, it won't be a leica, zeiss etc probaly a kowa 60 or 66 something like that.
