Let's see photos! Hello, us_dragunov I tried to capture an angle showing how the IOR mount sets the scope low and centered over the receiver. The dustcover can be removed, but just barely. I've never had an issue with losing zero when removing/replacing the mount, however. -When you're 52 with "marginal" eyes, good glass is not a luxury! guido2 in Houston Quote Link to post Share on other sites

elvis christ 451 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I'm using a 8x42 POSP. I'm having trouble getting the thing zeroed in, but I'm sure it's due to my inexperience with optics. Here's a pic: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bayoupiper 738 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Zeroing can be a real long, slow, pain in the ass! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lollygagger 1 Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 Google "automats in action" and you'll get Tantal's site that has loads of pics & info. LG Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chaps 0 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Google "automats in action" and you'll get Tantal's site that has loads of pics & info. LG Tantal has an interesting scope, 1P21, has anyone tried one? I emailed him for a price a couple of days ago but so far no response. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Saigaczech 9 Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I use a 8x42 and 4x24 POSP scopes on my Saiga 308 16" and Romanian PSL. Good scopes for little $$. Kalinka optics has a decent selection of Russian optics for sale although they can be a bit slow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Floyd9 30 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I've got a 2-6x24 POSP, on my .308, and absolutely love it. The 1P21 is a TANK! Its a very cool scope, and calibrated for 7.62x54R, but I think more suited for a PKM than a Saiga. It must weigh close to 3 pounds. Here is mine on my PSL......too much scope for the rifle, but very interesting features (Automatic bullet-drop compensation as you zoom). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eugene Onegin 6 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 I use the 6x24 ,it's a small scope with just enough power for me . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
