Description
Konus KONUSPOT 20-60x80mm Spotting Scope w/ Eyepiece represents one of the best values in an 80mm spotting scope on the market today. When your 60mm spotting scope starts to fade at higher magnifications, you need the 80mm of aperture provided by the Konuspot 20-60x80. 80mm means not only an increase in brightness over smaller spotting scopes, it also means better image quality, especially at higher magnifications. Yet despite its size, the Konus 20-60x80mm is a very reasonable 55 oz in weight. This makes it a perfect companion on your next birding trip or outing to the shooting range.

The Konus KONUSPOT 20-60x80 also includes many of the nice touches you would expect on a great spotting scope. You get an extendable sunshade, lockable collar that allows the scope to rotate 360 degrees when mounted on a tripod, a forty-five degree angled eyepiece, smooth precise focusing with a conveniently located focusing knob, objective cover, and a zippered nylon case. Simply put, you will not find a better value in an 80mm spotting scope than the Konus Konuspot.

Saw that, great price! I have one and it works pretty well for my needs..

I've been using one for close to a year now and it works great out to the 100 yd max at my club. Haven't had to oppurntunity to push it any further as a spotting scope. That's a great price for a solid scope

How do these do at 200 or 300 yards?

I read reviews that folks gave it very good at 200 yards, however i myself shoot at the same range as Todbiker so i am also limited to 100 Yards.

Here is some reviews

Depends a lot on mirage and lighting. I can almost always see 7.62 holes at 200 and occasionally 5.56.

I Should also say that I was skeptical at first of the website when my buddy Lostsoul added me. There are some deals that are So So, but i have found other deals to be very good. I bought a few High end rifle bags for 20.00 Less each than anywhere else online , and lots of other Misc stuff at decent deals.

a example.. Here is a recent order. The Opmod bag is about 45.00 from Optic planet, I bought one through them, then DVOR put one on sale the following week, i went ahead and ordered a second for almost half to have as a spare.

Oldcar- A credit should be coming your way. I ordered the scope. Thanks for the input. I have been using a 25 year old BSA POS that works, but sucks bad. I have been looking for almost a year. It was not a high priority item until my 53 year old eyes starting telling me it was....
Thanks for the link....

Sounds good, I actually had no Idea id even get a credit until they sent me a email that said this

Hey Dave

"Just wanted to give you a heads up—XXXXXX has accepted your invitation to join Dvor. Hooray! After your friend has made their first purchase, we'll credit your store account with $10. It's that simple!"


I was just in to to help you guys out, but Hey.. Ill take free credit

I like mine, Todbiker likes his, he has a older tripod on his which he doesnt care for but he bought his a while before me, My guess is you will get the newer tripod..

It is a little front heavy due to the big 80mm bell. There is two mounting holes to mount the scope base to the tripod. I mount mine in the front hole so the scope base hangs off the back of the tripod base and keeps the weight centered. Also a great thing i have found is that the eye piece rotates by loosening the screw on the side , this is good at the range we are at cause the seats are sometimes low and then you can turn the eye piece to your height.
Hope you guys like it as much as we do. !

This is a fine scope. I use one. Jim Owens, a well known former Marine competitor, has promoted and sold this scope for years. I paid $190 for mine 4-5 years ago, and it was a great buy at the time.

God scope and good price. But I think they over state the retail price as I paid about $200 from Midway a couple of years ago.
OP- also accepted your invite so I guess you'l get another credit when I make my first buy.

true, i have noticed that their Retail price always says a little higher than most. But some folks really do sell it for that high...

I've got the 20-60x100 model and it's very clear with decent eye relief. My only problem is it's size and weight. I needed to get a better tripod for it since I couldn't keep it on target with a cheap sunpak, it kept nosing straight down. I haven't brought it to the range for a while since I can see what I need through my scope at 200 yards as easily as through the spotter. I'll be bringing it on a vacation in July and then posting it for sale in classifieds here after that. The family has used it more often as a low power telescope than I have as a spotting scope.

I will definitely consider the 15-45x65 before my first F-class shoot in September. Not something you should run through the woods with but certainly a good range product.

I heard that about the 100mm, thats why i stayed away from it and bought the 80mm.

Thanks again OCJ for the link.
The scope arrived yesterday. Wow. I was not expecting the size of this thing. But thats ok, I plan on using it for it's intended purpose. I played around with it outside yesterday. It is so much clearer that the POS I was used to. I was able to count the strands of wire on the transformer lead about 100 yards away. Eye relief is sufficient. I did figure out about the scope rotating in its mount to move the eye piece. Nice feature. I will try to get it to the range this weekend to see if I can see the tiny holes. It will be a keeper. BTW, It came from optics planet.
What are folks doing for a carry case that actually adds a bit of protection?

Awesome. Glad you like it. Figured all would.
For a carry case I went to harbor freight. there is a box there that is perfect for the scope. I will try to take a picture of it once I get home. but as usual I have a long day ahead of me.

Here ya go, this is what im using for a case...

Hmm.. great idea for a case, may need to see about one soon...
