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.
