Italian optics visitor, Konus' new ultra-compact Pro T30 three-12 X 44 model is a classic case of a go-ahead operation, eager to respond to the demands of its customers - equally Mark Camoccio discovers

Versatile
Variable magnification from 3x through to 12x, and an objective lens of 44mm, isn't that unusual, but information technology's the way this highly versatile specification has been packaged up inside such a super-compact body trounce that's perhaps the biggest eye-opener. Information technology's not all nigh trendy looks, though, every bit we shall see.
The T30 is just 10.4 inches, is fogproof (nitrogen-filled tube), shockproof, waterproof, features multi-coated lens, and comes fitted with flip-upwardly lens covers. Built effectually a one-piece 30mm tube, construction feels robust, to say the least. Throw in the usual fast-focus adjuster at the rear, and an engraved, illuminated reticle, and nosotros accept the makings of a serious optical tool. The ultra matte-black stop is highly applied for field use, as are the low profile screw cap turrets; ¼-inch clicks, incidentally.
Uk importers, Rangeright, accept worked closely with the Konus design team, to come up with a dedicated airgun version of the T30, and of class, the principal implication of that is parallax. The firearm spec' sees the parallax set for 100 yards, just this airgun-specific version is altogether dissimilar. You'll notice that there's no dissever focus adjuster, but with the magnification dial set to 3x, parallax is four-half-dozen yards; with the mag on 12x, parallax switches to 30 yards. Clever stuff, perfect for airgun duties and given the spec', that has to include HFT shooting, too.

Engraved
'T' in T30 denotes Tactical, and whilst this trendy label does the rounds, the 550 ballistic reticle certainly delivers. The Christmas tree-style stadia are perfectly proportioned, with a host of aim/ reference points at your disposal. The small key dot is precise enough, and one higher signal allows for concur-under shots. Trajectory of a given pellet can exist plotted against the array of lines and mid-points on the lower quadrants, also. We get thick outer posts, and I'm a fan of these because they help to guide the center to the middle, when the image is in danger of getting lost in dark leafage, for example. Positive fine aim points, in a pleasingly bold design, best sums up this reticle, and the fact that it's glass etched, brings confidence, with it's added resilience under recoil.
In that location's illumination, also, for those who appreciate this characteristic, and here, the left turret acts as the rheostat dial, with v levels of brightness, in blue or red. Everything bar the outer thick posts, lights up, so information technology's another tool in the armoury.

On the range
It'south refreshing to come across the low-profile turret caps because unless you shoot field target, where dialling each target is the norm, we actually don't need outsized chunky turrets, adding unnecessary weight and width to our set-up. Unscrew the caps, and precisely marked turrets with ¼ -inch clicks await. I soon had a zero, and for the record, there'south a broad range of aligning on each. The usual grid test went to plan, tracking up, right, downwardly, then left, for a satisfactory render, so with this complete, I reapplied the caps before losing them! Image quality is impressive, and with my passion for hunter field target guiding the way, viewing targets through the typical distances, 8-45 yards, made sense. Edge-to-edge sharpness is spot-on, but the consistent clarity stands out. Viewing on 9x mag, I constitute ultra-shut eight-10 yards usably blurred, and so 15-20 yards just slightly less crisp, and 25 yards onwards abrupt.
Then whatsoever negatives to highlight? Only that the flip-upward lens covers supplied, were a bit on the slack side, and could as well easily twist or get knocked off. Some sort of rubber rim would help, but otherwise, the Konus made quite an impression.
Conclusion
Konus are becoming synonymous with 'value for money' products, yet the technical spec' sheet on offer hither surely belies that unbelievable request price. The Konus Pro T30 3-12 ten 44 is not only well presented, but a highly versatile, nicely idea out optical tool, perfectly suited to the demands of hunter field target, or parallel hunting duties.
