Anyone use POSP scopes?
I've read a few mixed reviews about these scopes and can't decide if I want one or not. If you've owned a russian Posp, can you please post up your thoughts on the scope and maybe answer a few questions...
picture clear or foggy ? holds zero? any problems? would you buy another? thank you |

I would think it's repeatablility would be determined by how solid the mount is on the rifle.
Have a China version, but the mount is machined into the reciever. Works well, very odd watching the reticle move when you turn the knobs. Graduated in meters so I'm at a loss but I have a few settings of my own memorized and they work fine as long as I range tin cans in yardage and then extrapolate the corresponding number of egg rolls to adjust my turrets. The reticle is never centered like typical scopes you might be used to. It's clear enough, hopefully never need to buy another.....but would be forced to if this one broke....cause there is no other mounting option.

I LOVE the POSP scope series. All mine are from Belarus. A weaver mount 6x42, AK side rail 4x24, 6x42, and 8x42.

$1,500 suppressed Ruger 77/44 and my first pick of scope was a POSP. Bit of a PITA to mount on a Ruger, but SOOOOO worth it.

Alright crosshair, thats what I like to hear! I was having my doubts until I read your responce.
I plan to mount one on my cz 858, (kinda like an ak, same caliber), which magnification do you recommend? I was thinking of picking up the 6x42 for the 200 yard cans, and if there is enough room under the scope, using my irons for the closer targets. bad idea? good idea? |

POSP 8x
Got an 8x on a PSL/SSG-97. Once I sorted out the siderail mount issues, (tension adjustment and loose screws) it's been OK. Windage adjustments are coarse, but repeatable elevation has been great w/ about 500 rds fired.
Mine is a Belarus, w/ 3V illumination and 1200 yd choke range finder. They do make a weaver compatible model as shown in crosshairs photos, in addition to the side mount. Tossed the goofy accordion style eyepiece and factory front dangle lens cover for a set of Butler Creeks. The illum feature is neat and I find myself hauling the PSL to shooting houses for afternoon/evening hunts to take advantage of the feature, and for the novelty. |

If you want a 42mm scope then the 6x would probably be the one to get as it lets you reach out relatively well while still not hampering you too much at close range. My 8x is on my .308 Saiga so that is oriented to longer range shooting. When you say "200 yard cans" I am assuming you aren't talking pop cans?
