Konus M30 riflescopes
Konus is an optical company that has sort of been flying under the radar for awhile, but no longer. With its new M30 line of fully loaded riflescopes, Konus is taking on the big boys with gloves off. The three models in the series include a 4.5x-16x, 6.5x-25x, and a 8.5x-32x scope. The reticles are etched into the glass, for durability, but the really big deals about these scopes, aside from the incredible glass, are the 1/8 MOA locking adjustments, 45 degree offset illuminator switch, built-in anti-canting bubble, and large parallax wheel. Each scope also comes with a four-inch sunshade. Prices are reasonable, from $529 to $629.

Riflescopes, binoculars, spotting scopes, rangefinders: when you're shopping for optics, there is so much variety as to boggle the mind. Prices range from reasonable to ridiculous, but when it comes down to it, you get what you pay for, with some exceptions. Here are 10 items that blew me away at the show.
