Hi Guys,

               Has anyone on the forum used the Konus brand of spotting scopes, the model I am really interested in is the 20 -60 x 80mm. I currently own a Tasco 15-45x 60mm but the optics on it are rubbish and was wondering if the Konus would be more suitable.

I never used it. I take it no one else has! Sorry I could not give you any feed back on that item.

Stay far away from the Konus scopes. I returned a Konus 90 and the scope had little or no focus and was a cheap piece of crap. Bushnell scopes arent bad for the price though some are cheesy. If you want anything decent expect to pay at the bare minimum around 230 and up. Make sure the lense is glass!

Thanks for the honest feedback, I think I will save for a Nikon. I am sick of cheap optics
