Re: Comoptics

Yea! I've got a BSA red dot with a eotech 3x magnifier behind it on my kricket .22 and I've killed grizzly bear up to 1200 meters if I do my part.....

On the left is Mosin-Nagant PU Scope 3.5X approx year of manufacture 1942. Use: At 100m the post is as wide as a head, at 200m as wide as Steelheimer (german sp?) helmet, and at 300m shoulders width.
Middle is Russian 8X SVD-mount POSP scope with illuminated reticle available as an aftermarket purchase. Has adjustible dioptrics. Turret elevates to 850m after which lower chevrones are used to site.
The last one is standard issue 4X SVD-mount PSO-1 scope. Mill-spec version has an IR detecting sensor built in that allows the shooter see laser beams and active IR illuminators (when activated, this feature severely decreases the visibility through the scope - all he will see is the bright blurb on a blurry greenesh background). The reticle is illuminated. The elevation adjusts to 1000m after which lower chevrones are used to site. On both SVD scopes each division of the horizontal bar is 1 MOA. CORRECTED: Windage adjusts in 1/2 Mil clicks (5cm @ 100m). Elevation adjustments are trajectory-specific to Russian sniping ammo 7N1. Use of any other ammo requires marking the turret.
Rangefinder function: Numbers 1,7 on 4X scope and 1,5 / 0,5 on the 8X scope represent object height in meters (1.7m, 1.5m, and 0.5m) The parabolic lines give the distance readout in meters. Place the rangefinder picture over a standing human figue so that the head touches the parabola, while feet touch the lower horizontal line. Read the range above the head.

Most of you probably could care less, but some of you will be aimed at through one of these scopes, since they are common in Iraq and Afghanistan. I hope this post in some small measure helps you out there.

Re: Comoptics

Holy crap man
You don't have to yell.

Thanks for the post. I think most folks that clicked are interested but I think that you expect too much from a bunch of immature males who really should be doing something productive but are reading "sniper" threads instead.

Cheers to all reading this!

I could probably do better with a paper towel roll and coat hanger. So take that! HA
 
Re: Comoptics

I'm still laughing at the BSA/SKS/Plastic Dragunov at 1k...

Having fired the Dragunov with Polish MP's in Afghanistan, I would say it is more than capable of hitting men at 800M. We were hitting day glo orange paint cans at 500M with ease

OEF VII
Outside the wire training LN's to shoot AK's for tower guard supplement. We also got to fam fire some pretty fun stuff as well courtesy of the Polish, French Foreign Legion, and ANA.

Re: Comoptics

Boys I have used a Turkish issue SVD with the PSO-1 scope and whatever crap 7.62x54R they were issued.

It will kill you deader than dead in skilled hands, and you will hit the ground before you hear the report of the rifle.

They are not precision weapons or HSLD optics, but they will get the job done in the sand, mud, and anywhere else you can drag them.

I would still love to own a real SVD but all I have seen for close to reasonable prices are PSL's (overgrown AK's). Since everyone wants to call them Dragunovs they seem to want to charge those prices.

Thanks for the pics.
 
Re: Comoptics

PSL is based on the design that Mihail Kalashnikov submitted as an entry in the contest for a marksman's rifle against Evgeny Dragunov's invention. The reasons it was rejected were: it has 2 bolt locking lags instead of three on a Dragunov; more gases have to be diverted from the bore to push back the huge bolt carrier, and the stamped metal construction is less stiff. That is why PSL is slightly less accurate at distances above 700 m even if the 7N1 ammo is capable up to 900 m. (It comes in the green tins and looks just like any other copper washed crap, but is a much better load). As far as the SVD, 2 MOA accuracy is what the factory specs are stating, however most SVDs are .75 to 1.25 MOA. It is nearly impossible to read wind through the 4X scope at over 700m. The field of vew is so wide though, at the range I can see dust kicking up from other shooters's hits.
The 8x scope offers better picture, but it adds about 10oz extra to the weight and makes the iron sights nearly impossible to use.
 
Re: Comoptics

I hve never been trained as sniper. These are results of my 1st and 2nd long distance matches F-class I've ever shot. 1st time with 4x, second with 8x scopes and using Prvi Partizan factory ammo.

Next Sunday, November 8, Range 4, Quantico, 08:30.
You can pay $35 and shoot mine, I'll supply the ammo just to see what an USMC Sniper can do with the rifle. Se ya there.
P.S. I am only posting these scores as an illustration of the rifle's and NOT the shooter's ability. I am still learning to do this.
