AK optic thread.

PO 1.4-4x16-1
AK/Saiga mount, Excellent scope overall but not very ideal if you have short fixed stock on your AK as the eye relief could be problematic. With adjustable stock its a non issue.
For having such a small front objective it's very bright. On 4.5 power reticle does get a bit thicker than standard PSO/PSOP. It's powered by AA battery and illumination works better (more even) than POSP's.
BDC I'm assuming are for Saiga (7.62x39) as -1 and it's mount but it could be 54R as the same scope is made for Tigr.
Another interesting thing about this scope is reticle adjustment, while moving turrets the reticle does move as in PSO/POSP but on much smaller scale, it stays mostly centered throughout it's entire range.
Very well made scope with excellent fit and finish and very high quaility glass. If this was made in the states, I could easily see MSRP for it above $1000

Kashtan 1p78 (C-1)
Range finder reticle, calibrated for 5.45x39
Excellent optic, just the right magnification, amazingly clear glass with slight tint to relieve eye strain (makes viewing trough it HD like experience).
Front cap locks solidly and spins around with click stops.
For it's wide field of view it has much smaller front objective vs Trijicon ACOG but it's just as clear.
All in all top of the line optic, superb construction and glass. Not surprised that military adopted this along side few others.

Scope comes (mine did at least) with a hood mask.


Reticle drawing I came across explaining how it's designed to work.. Red dot is bullet impact.


Photo trough it, looks much better in real life, very sharp, defined reticle.
The photo was taken trough a window with 11-o-clock sunlight, it was a bad set-up but just wanted to take a pic of the reticle (not like there's shortage of these pics).


another bad photo, camera can't capture what eye is capable if seeing.
Tritium illumination is much brighter than U.S made optics. Actually, tritium is very well visible at daytime or indoors when pointing reticle at the dark areas.

Are these on the way to the US yet Dimitri?

I'm really hoping they arrive before I find the time to complete my .300 blackout ar-pattern build.

Kobra, a classic AK sight, well known since the 90's.

Excellent sight. Lightweight, durable and easy to use (with different reticles). Depending on the model, battery life is a bit better than Eotech, window is not as big vs Eeotech but when shooting you don't notice the window size in either optics (just the target/reticle).
Had several of them in the past, recently obtained an older (AA) model, there are a few things I overlooked before but I really like this sight, own several Eotech's, both have their pros and cons but I like Kobra a bit more.

PO 3.5x21P
Excellent optic, actually the best resolution and FOV of any optic I've tried (foreign or domestic). Simply amazing glass and what is even more amazing is that this is achieved with only 30mm front objective. it's a bit heavier than any other optic in my collection but due to it's unmatched glass and FOV the weight is absolutely non issue.

Had 5.45x39 version, recently acquired gray 7.62x39mm BDC from Oleg.K from Gunbroker, nice guy, easy to deal with and excellent prices

7.62x39mm 800 meter BDC, 5.45 has 1000.

[Click Boom]

That thing has like a 70ft FOV @ 100m @ 3.5x.

The PA 4x prism has a 23ft FOV @ 100y @ 4x

That is just insane. Does the weight bother you?

Yes, the FOV is very impressive, like mentioned, with a clarity and FOV of this scope the weight is not even worth talking about (and it's not all that much really).
One thing that's very neat about Russian/Belorussian optics is that the manual shows optic lens scheme, I don't know of any other manufacturers that reveals their design so openly, I guess it's just one step made easier for Chinese.



Point of impact or using BDC.


Ranging targets distance.

Nothing too impressive or expensive for me, but it works. Painted front sight, mojo rear sight with ultimak gas tube rail and bushnell trs 25 on top. I took it to the range last weekend (for the first time) and it was all good.
