PSO 4x24M is identical with the same reticle pattern, but uses a standard SVD-type clamp that is recommended for SVD, PSL/FPK, and late models of Vepr and Saiga rifles. These late production rifles have modified side plate designs that will allow regular SVD PSO's to fit them, and since they also have longer style stocks, the position of the regular PSO with the appropriate SVD clamp is very suitable. The SVD clamp positions the scope lower on the rifle, and will not allow the use of iron sights while it is installed. However, since these have QD clamps they can be removed almost instantly. The added comfort of the correct design should be a priority issue as part of end users decision on which model to use.

All of our PSO 4x24 model scopes are made by Zenit and are of the highest quality PSO construction we have found available. They all feature high quality fully coated lenses, nitrogen anti-fogging protection, a rugged mil-spec medium to dark gray finish (not silver), military gradient style height based rangefinding, illuminated reticle and modern solid state LED operation. If you want the military reliability and performance of a true PSO, and also feel shooting comfort is a concern, this is the scope you should be looking at. Fits all AK models to include SAR series, Saiga, Vepr, SVD/PSL, Bulgarian, Hungarian, and Polish type side plate systems. Shipped with new factory sealed batteries, original Russian manual, rubber eyepiece, and nylon carrying case with internal pockets.

Although all current models use MOA adjusted turrets which are great for use with any calibre of rifle, the 400 meter models also have 7,62x39mm specific ballistic curve calibrated holdover aiming marks for shots made at 200 and 300 meters, without the requirement to change the range turret setting.

2003 RELEASE NOTE: The latest improved version of this sight uses two inexpensive and commonly available US-style "357" coin cell watch batteries in conjunction with a 3v LED illuminator. This allows the scope to maintain the original battery compartment and military configuration, without the use of awkward adapters.

PSO 6x24, 6x24V

The 6x24V model is designed for those rifles which can benefit from higher magnification, those in calibers which have an extended effective range, or for shooters desiring a slightly more powerful optic without additional weight. A military dual gradient height based 1000M rangefinding reticle and elevation adjustments in equal MOA increments make it an excellent choice for any calibre, including 7.62x39mm, .308, .223 NATO, 5.45x39mm and 7,62x54R.

The scope is of the highest quality PSO construction with high quality fully coated lenses, nitrogen anti-fogging protecting, a rugged mil-spec medium gray finish (not silver), military gradient style height based rangefinding (1,000 meter configuration) illuminated reticle and modern solid state LED operation. Iron sights can still be easily used without removal of this sight.

Model "V" was designed from the onset to properly fit and ergonomically function on AK applications and is specific to the AK series rifle. Clamp design provides the proper eye relief and attaching mechanism for most types of AK optic side plates. The improved scope clamping mechanism increases eye relief by 1.25-2 inches (according to the side plate used) over other types of PSO's, to give the shooter a more comfortable shooting stance with any variety of AK furniture.

If you want the military reliability and performance of a true PSO, and also feel shooting comfort is a concern, this is the scope you should be looking at. PSO6x24 will fit all SVD, Tigr, NDM-86 and PSL models. It will also fit Romanian AK's (all models) and rifles equipped with Bulgarian design optics side plates. PSO6x24V fits all AK models to include SAR series, Saiga, Vepr, SVD/PSL, Bulgarian, Hungarian, and Polish type side plate systems.

PSO 8x42, 8x42D

The best general purpose SVD optic available, with focus adjustment feature. Scope combines amazingly clear, fully coated optics with enlarged, nitrogen filled exit pupil and objective tubes for improved light gathering ability in night and low light conditions. But most uniquely, this special version has an adjustable focus eyepiece which is not found on any other version of the PSO series rifle scope. This enables perfect focus, especially for those with vision problems.

The military rangefinding reticle is height based with graduated scales for both standing figure and prone figure estimation. It has standard SVD inverted chevron aiming points for 1-1000, 1100, and 1200 meters, respectively. This sight is designed for use on the SVD Dragunov sniper rifle, and is best fitted to SVD, Tigr or Romanian PSL models due to the increased power and large objective size. Finish is a handsomely applied, rugged military issue dark gray hammer coating. Shipped with padded ballistic nylon soft case, rubber eye piece, new US batteries, original Russian language manual and English "Getting Started" instructions.

The improved scope clamping mechanism increases eye relief by 1.25-2 inches (according to the side plate used) over other types of PSO's, to give the shooter a more comfortable shooting stance with any variety of AK furniture. Even with the large objective size, extra height designed into the new riser assembly allows clearance for mounting to AK variants without any modifications to the rear sight assembly, or removal of the rear sight.

PSO 4-8x42DV

No doubt the most highly developed PSO-1 based optic yet placed into production, the PSO4-8x42DV is adjustable for both focus and power, which ranges from the standard 4x to a high power 8x capability. This allows the optic to work for a vast number of applications and environments. Illuminated dual gradient range finding military reticle and minute of angle target style turret adjustments allow easy and effective sighting procedures. Latest design allows the use of common watch batteries while maintaining the original military configuration. The adjustable eye piece is also perfect for shooters who wear glasses.

1P21 "MINUTA"

For end users who require the most professional and advanced long range optic available for use with Russian based sniping systems, the 1P21 (PO 3-9x42M) is the best choice. Offering 3-9x adjustable power zoom this optical device is virtually an automatic version of the original PSO. Although originally designed for the SVD Dragunov, the 1P21 "Minuta" uses the standard night vision base clamp system, which means it will fit all types of AK and SVD side plates to include Tigr, NDM-86, Vepr, Saiga, Romanian SAR 1-3, Romak 1/2, PSL/Romak3, MPK, MTK, and others. This sight fits low to the receiver, lower than most PSO models, and therefore it provides a wonderful cheek weld on standard military stocks. Because of this, it also sits more to the left than some PSO models, and therefore may not be suitable for some left handed shooters.

Baseline zero of the sight is accomplished by the use of two recessed turret adjusters. Once this is done, the sight uses a one-knob adjusting wheel for all three functions of zoom, range estimation, and angle of adjustment of the sight. Once the user zooms in to fit the target into a scale located on the rangefinder, the scope has already estimated the range. Distance in hundreds of meters is indicated at the top of the sight reticle. Although based upon the 762x54R calibre of weapons, this sight can be effectively used with .308 and other popular calibers.

We have been able to acquire these in military dark gray finish, and many of the current shipment are marked with military designations. Scope package includes carrying case, special rubber eye piece, forward rubber lens cover, new US batteries, original Russian language manual and special English language "Getting Started" instructions.
