Konus Absolute 5-40x56 Scope BDC IR - High Precision Riflescope with Illuminated Reticle

The Konus Absolute 5-40x56 scope with BDC illuminated reticle is built for shooters who demand extreme magnification range without compromise on image quality. This high-precision riflescope bridges the gap between close-range precision and extreme long-distance accuracy, making it equally at home on a 100-yard target line or dialed in at 600+ yards. The 5x to 40x magnification range gives you the flexibility to transition between shooting scenarios—dial down for faster target acquisition in variable light, crank up for detailed sight picture at distance—all without changing optics.

ED glass and multi-coated optics deliver the contrast and light transmission competitive shooters rely on when accuracy matters. The scope's 30mm tube and constant eye relief across the magnification range keep you comfortable during extended shooting sessions, whether prone at the bench or moving between positions. The side parallax adjustment wheel lets you fine-tune focus from close range to infinity, eliminating parallax error that can cost you a match or hunt. At 28.2 ounces and 15.8 inches long, this is a purpose-built optic that doesn't waste space.

The heart of this scope is the extra-thin 550 ballistic reticle, laser-etched and dual-illuminated for visibility in low light without overpowering your target in bright conditions. Thin reticles preserve sight picture when precision counts, and the BDC design gives you holdover marks for range estimation and bullet drop compensation. High-precision locking tactical turrets with 1/8 M.O.A. click values and 20 M.O.A. total adjustment range give you the repeatability and precision expected at this level. Hydrophobic lens coating sheds water and reduces glare on wet days.

This is a serious competitor's scope and a hard-use hunting optic for anyone who shoots long and shoots often.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the eye relief on this long-range riflescope?

Eye relief is constant across the magnification range and stays between 91-92mm (3.5–3.6 inches), which is comfortable for both scoped rifles and shooters who wear glasses. This consistency means you won't have to adjust your cheek weld as you change magnification.

Can I use this 5-40x scope for both competitive shooting and hunting?

Yes. The 5x to 40x magnification range and ballistic reticle make this scope versatile enough for target competitions, long-range hunting, and precision rifle work. The side parallax adjustment gives you the focus precision needed at distance, while the lower magnification end keeps things manageable at closer range.

How precise are the turret adjustments on the Konus Absolute?

The turrets feature 1/8 M.O.A. click values for fine adjustments, with a total adjustment range of 20 M.O.A. per axis. The turrets are locking and high-precision, giving you reliable repeatability for dialing in your load or adjusting for wind and distance.

What kind of light performance does the ED glass and multi-coating provide?

The combination of ED (extra-low dispersion) glass and ultra-wide band multi-coatings maximizes light transmission through the optic, reducing chromatic aberration and delivering sharp, high-contrast images in variable lighting. This translates to clarity and detail when you're trying to resolve a small target or shoot in overcast conditions.
