Anyone have one and know how to zero and use it? Also do you like it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I zeroed mine with a .223 laser boresighter to start with and went from there. I personaly don't like the POSP scopes. I have a POSP 8x42 i got as a gift of my S.223. I don't like the the scope position on. For me its real uncomfortable to shoot with the POSP on. I'm more of an iron sights fan. So there's alittle input from my experiance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ASSASSIN 1 Posted April 10, 2005 Report Share Posted April 10, 2005 Hi The posp scopes are real quick to zero in as they have the moving image reticule , i quite like them. I have the 8x42 and can get 3 shots into 20mm outside to outside at 50m from my 7.62x39mm ak103. if your elevation turret is marked 0-10 then zero at 100m and set the turret to 0 , if it is marked 0-20 then set it at 1.5 for a 100m zero. as you may know some scopes are calibrated for the 7.62x39mm round and these usually have the 400m rangefinder. if yours has the 1000m rangefinder then the scopes reticule is calibrated for 7.62x54r. either way the normal dial in for extended ranges will not apply to you as you are using .223 so you will need to work out and write down what ranges the lower chevron aiming marks corespond to. you will also need to work out how many clicks to take you from 100m to 200m etc. all the best assassin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I also have the range finder inside he scope. I haven't taken it to the range yet, the weather is too windy and about to rain here. The levation is at 10.5 and windage is at .5 Like I said I haven't shoot it yet. I am not sure how to use it.bought because it was the clearist scope I have found yet. The way stuff that fits the Saiga .308 I thought that I sould get it now. Please help with it. Thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-RotorDemon- 0 Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 I have one, and I totally agree that it has the clearest optics I have ever seen in a scope. Since there are no rifle ranges that I know of around me, I have to guesstimate on adjusting it. Just bought a bi-pod for mine so setting it for 100m should work fine for me, Only issue I have is the recticule (sp?) seems to get so blurry from time to time that I cant read anything (let alone seeing it) Not sure if thats me (20/10 vision) or something wierd with the scope.

ASSASSIN 1 Posted April 11, 2005 Report Share Posted April 11, 2005 Hi rotordemon the blurryness is only when you view a reasonably close object , i often fire at 50m and have noticed it , if you aim at a further object say 200m away it is real clear , this is a sniper scope after all. this is my findings after using mine. BIRRDOG Hi i have uploaded a manual for this scope to my web server , you can download it on the link below:- http://homepage.ntlworld.com/kalashnikov/i...8x42_manual.pdf hope this is of help all the best assassin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I took it to the range this afternoon and went to the 25 yards and shoot till got it to shoot close to center as we could. I only had about 60 rounds so then we went to the 50 yard range and had to adjust the levation down some the ran out of ammo. I got it pritty close but need to tighted the locking lever some. I just want to know if it is normal to be able to turn the adjuster knobs with out loseing the 2 screws first? The range won't let you shoot fmj ammo so I will need to find some ammo and go back to the range and work on it some more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ASSASSIN 1 Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Hi birrdog The black wheel on top of the elevation and windage adjustment turrets should have 2 screws in each that need to be loosened before the callibrated (siver) turrets can be moved to set your zero at a certain mark. on my scope when i remove the two screws i seem to need to rotate the turrets at least half a turn or the screws cant line up with the holes again , this has caused me a problem in setting my turrets to a determined zero mark such as "0" , is your scope the same? all the best assassin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

danny boy 0 Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 You don't need to take the screws all the was out, just loosen them. When I sighted in my Romak3/8x42, I didn't loosen anything until I was back at home. then loosened up the screws and set the turrets to 1.5 elevation and 0 windage. You can rough sight it this way and maybe get lucks like I did and get dead on without having to fine tune any. I hit POA at 100m with scope set at 1.5 like the manual says, but hit 1" high at 200m with elevation set at 2, so the range card in the instructions didn't work for me. BTW, I have an I/O rifle and the I/O scope instructions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ASSASSIN 1 Posted April 23, 2005 Report Share Posted April 23, 2005 Hi Danny boy Thanks for the tip , it isnt very easy to dial the turret without upsetting my zero but once its done it locks down nice and tight. I hope to get to the range and re-zero and set to "0" all the best assassin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
