Which POSP scope for Saiga 7.62 x 39 ?

[molodoi 0]

In the market for a POSP scope for a 7.62 x 39 saiga.

Which scope have markings adapted to this caliber?

Most POSP scopes have 200m-400m reticle markings for the SVD shooting the more powerful 7.62 x 54 cartridge so these will be off for the lighter round.

Would this scope be appropriate:

No, that one does not have the proper mounting bracket, or reticle. It is also a bit large for an x39 IMO.

 

I would recommend this one, it is a 4x24 specifically made for 7.62x39 with proper range finder and bullet drop chevrons. It is a bit heavy in 4x24, I would not recommend going any bigger due to weight concerns, but that is up to you. 4x24 does great for me out to 200yds.

This one, PSO, is even nicer, but a bit privier.... http://www.kalinkaoptics.com/rifle-scopes/pso/pso-4x24-illuminated-rifle-scope-w-german-post-reticle-ak-version.html

ak and svd have differing mounting brackets?

yes, but you can buy a $30 AK bracket if you find a cheap SVD version and need to switch.

Thanks for the link. The following caught my eye in the description of the first scope:

"Since the range calibrations for both the AK and SVD versions on both the 1000 meter Dragunov and 400 meter Simonov models are measured in equal amounts of MOA, all versions of the POSP can be used effectively with any caliber of weapon. "

 

I don't get it. How can the same chevrons work for bullet compensation in 2 different calibers? Are they saying that 7.62x39 and 7.62x54 happen to drop by the same amount at 400m and 1000m respectively so the same chevrons can be used for differing distances for those 2 calibers?

Lately I've been thinking PK-A for my SGL21. The PK-AS's are a bit more compact and have that cool black dot/red dot feature, but they're ~$100 more expensive and actually have a bigger red dot; PK-A: 1 MOA, PK-AS: 1.5 MOA.

The PK-A also has unlimited eye relief. With the PK-AS, if the position of your head is off a bit, you will be seeing black. Additionally, the PK-A is less offset to the left. I sold my PK-AS, mostly because it was very awkward and hard on my neck.
