Default konus scopes

Has anyone tried the Konus scopes that CVA seems to have somekind of promotions deal with? BPS has the scope and rings for $80, sounds like a deal but I dont want a junk scope, I have always been a bushnell guy.

My sons CVA Wolf came with one on it. For that price, it is a very nice setup.

Konus is pretty much bottom of the barrel for a hunting scope. SWFA sells the 3-9x for $44.95.

Spend more now, rather than re-buy later.

I post this a good read on low end scopes

Glass is just as important as the gun.

I sold hunting optics for several years and those Konus had a lot of returns with problems. In fact more returns then any other brand we carried. The Bushnell Trophy at just over $100 is a far better scope. Very few problems and good quality glass. And I agree with saving up a bit if you can and step into a couple hundred dollar optic. Whether it is a Bushnell Elite or A Nikon Buckmaster or something of that sort. You will be much better off in the long run.

all my other scopes are mid-level bushnell's, never had a problem with them but was curious about the konus. looks like I'll stick with bushnell.

True dat. You get what you pay for. For decades i had cheap scopes on most of my guns. Cleaned out the attic in December and gave the stuff to the Salvation Army. There were 14 rifles scopes that had gone bad for some reason or the other. A couple of them were old Weavers that just wore out. The rest were the usual cheap suspects. One of those cheap scopes cost me a trophy deer. Three or four of them cost me hogs when they went bad without warning.

Europeans will buy a $1,000 rifle and put a $2,000 scope on it. Americans will buy a $500 rifle and put a $50 scope on it. There is nothing wrong with a $500 rifle but something will most likely go wrong with that $50 scope.

i only have one konus and its the konus pro 3-9x44 and its a hell of a crystal clear scope. The super fine 30-30 ret. is excellent and allows me to use a bulls eye as small as 1/4" @ 100 yards for placing my shots accurately. Life time warranty as well.
