The POSP series is world famous for its quality and is current military issue for the Red Army. Any picture of current Russian operations in Chechnya and elsewhere show these scopes in abundance. The POSP 6x42 with 400 meter rangefinder is a high quality rifle scope with a magnesium alloy body and fully multicoated optics. A great assault weapon scope with the patented 'Simonov' marked metering grid, this illuminated reticule grid scope allows you to determine kill distance as well as to track and observe game in the field. This sight's defining feature is an independent focusing eyepiece which operates similar to a pair of binoculars. The military reticle has an extremely effective and useful height-based rangefinder for dual use, with graduated scales for both standing and prone figure estimation. The military style reticle has a 400 meter height based gradient (choke style) rangefinder with holdover aiming marks for quick reaction shooting at 100, 200, and 300 meters, when used with 7.62x39mm. Once the primary inverted chevron aiming mark is adjusted for zero at 100 meters, the next two lower chevrons are bullet drop compensated for shots at 200 and 300 meters automatically. 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. The POSP features a red illuminated reticle which allows you to make perfect kill shots in dusk conditions. Illumination is provided by a simple diode. We have red, blue, white, yellow and green diodes available for purchase which allow you to change the color of the reticle when illuminated. The special design of the scope allows for both lateral and angular adjustments quickly and easily so you always stay zeroed in. This version is designed specifically for use on Kalashnikov receivers. It features professionally ground, crystal clear optics, nitrogen filling to prevent lens fogging, and larger diameter tubes for improved light gathering under the most severe conditions. Probably the best scope, dollar for dollar, in the world. It is waterproof and can be used in any climate condition. The new AK mount design allows for improved eye relief and more comfortable use. Designed specifically to properly fit and function on AK applications, the improved scope clamping mechanism increases eye relief by up to 2 inches depending on the side rail used to give the shooter a more comfortable shooting stance with any variety of AK furniture. It comes with a high quality mil-spec medium-dark gray hammer finish, and comes with everything shown in the picture; rubber lens cap, eye piece, and nylon carrying case. If you want the look and performance of a true POSP and place a premium on shooting comfort, this is your best choice. The AK ‘V’ clamp can easily be mounted to any of these rifles with the standard side rail: AK-47, AK-74, Vepr, Saiga, K-var, KBI, Hesse, Century and Arsenal USA copies, Romak1/2, SLR-93, SLR-95, SLR-101, MK-11, SAR, WUM, SA85M, WASR (check for installed rail), Maddi, Norinco and Poly-Tech copies. The POSP is also perfect for use on the .308 versions which require longer range reticles to make full use of their capabilities. The POSP series uses standard, readily available watch batteries. Batteries for this scope can be found at the bottom of this page or in the Batteries and Bulbs section.
