La cone is a much wider reality than the hunting and shooting enthusiast can already imagine and has in its offer wide-ranging technical equipment for different scientific fields: this to confirm, if ever needed, how the company has a very wide field of research and production to guarantee the high quality of all its products whose distribution, here with us, is handled by Konus Italy.
We have on test on a brand new Sabatti Saphire air rifle a telescope of this brand and precisely the model Konus Pro LZ 30 with values 3-12 × 56: the suffix Pro basically indicates a luminaire with quality above the average of the company product, therefore equipped with improvements and details that amplify and facilitate its field of use.
Konus Pro LZ 30 3-12 × 56 - Try hunting
The second abbreviation that appears in the denomination, the LZ, indicates an advanced double zeroing system of the turret that provides greater accuracy in pointing. The construction technique is based on a 30 mm one-piece tube with integral turrets, which gives an increase in the field of view equal to 20% compared to the traditional one, and an optical system equipped with the treatment fully multicoated which results in a high light transmission combined with an optimal yield even in unfavorable conditions such as a rainy day or with veils of fog.
Konus Pro LZ 30 3-12 × 56 - The characteristics
One of the characteristics of these optics is the reticle engraved on the lens so that breakages due to impacts or recoil of powerful calibers are excluded a priori: the position on the second focal plane guarantees the immutability of the perspective view of the reticle with the varying magnifications: therefore the coverage of the target does not vary and allows accurate shots even in the shooting range when trying to narrow the shot patterns. The snap turrets allow you to set zero after calibration, they report reference distance values and in the third turret on the left there is the battery seat for the double gradual illumination of the reticle: this is composed of four external bars that subtend four wires central cross hair with a slightly more marked cross in the center, but always very thin, useful for refining the tappet thanks also to the lighting. The design therefore allows a wide field of vision free, or almost, from covers. In the field tests we had a good overall feeling, appreciating in particular the optical complex; in the mechanics the adjustment of focus and magnification is well cared for, while the shots of the turrets are perceived with good timing and precision.
Some numerical data: the weight of 720 g is contained as well as the length of 342 mm compared to the optical performance provided, theeye relief is equal to 83,82 mm, the exit pupil is 18,6 mm at 3x while it fatally drops to 4,6 mm at 12x: you cannot have the chicken and the egg at the same time. The shots subtend ¼ of MOA therefore deviations of 7,25 mm at 100 m; the adjustment range always at 100 m is equal to 1,52 m.
The current indicative price in the armory is € 379,00: decidedly advantageous in relation to the quality provided by this riflescope which is proposed for a wide range of hunting and fun in the shooting range.
