Im just curious if anyone has mounted the POSP 3-9X24 on a vz 58? did it work well and was it somewhat straightforward to mount?? also did the scope sit too far back or can you adjust it a bit?

Thanks alot! i just want to make sure before i get one, im a huge fan of the Draganov style of scopes, i understand the vz58 isnt exactly a sniper but for 3-400 yards im sure it would do fine.
 
Mines not a 3x9 but it'll give you an idea. Its an SVD mount on an AK side rail that I had to machine to accept. SVD mounts aren't as common and more money.

You can also buy buy POSP scopes from ######xx dot ca. I got mine from them and also the side mount. They are in Canada and the scope and mount was shipped direct to me from Belarus. Never did get it mounted on my 858 before it made it to the "almost prohib" list.

Thanks, I couldn't get the M4 stock fast enough!
CSA VZ 58's are already drilled and tapped so I'm not sure how that one would work. Like I say, the one I used was the AK type rail but I had to machine out a slot to accept the SVD style stop pin.

The scope your looking at on Westrifle isnt actually a Posp by the way (westrifle just labeled it wrong :/ )....... Westrifle doesnt sell posp scopes as far as I know, they sell NPZ Optics (Russian company) which my research digs up as being higher quality than Posp (Belarus company) scopes, hence the more expensive price tag. I bought the "Posp" 6x36 from them and it is made by NPZ. You are correct about the mount, The 2 Westrifle scopes are SVD style which means the stopper must be on the barrel side of the mount you choose for your VZ (like the one you linked).

Ive been pondering about buying the same 3-9 scope for a VZ when I buy one... but im sketchy about how much longer the scope is as well; ( seems to sit back an additional inch!) looks sort of silly/ugly ?? idk 3-9 would be very nice indeed, but the shorter fixed style of scopes like pictured above look so GOOD! Westrilfe throws in a SKS/SVT SVD mount style side rail with the purchase of these scopes (like a $70 VALUE!), and they are great quality mounts, id throw one on my SKS If i got this scope for sure!

decisions decisions AHH.

I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IF SOMEBODY POSTED A PIC OF THERE VZ WITH THE 3-9x24 westrifle scope. Theres 2 on westrifles website, but id prefer more for reference.
 
If you call it POSP or PO it is the same style scopes. I Russia it is called POSP series

Rifle's sights of the POSP series

is world famous for its quality and very attractive prices. The POSP is a high quality zoom rifle scope with a alluminium body and fully multicoated optics. It is intended for aimed firing with a hunting gun, for approximate estimation of the distance to an object as well as for observing the objects of nature. POSP has illuminated reticule grid allows you to determine kill distance in the twilight. The design of the scope allows for both lateral (with respect to wind, target movement) and angular (with respect to range) adjustments quickly and easily. Sights of POSP series is waterproof and can be used in a variety of climate conditions. Versions of the sight for anyone automatic weapon are made.

I will post pictures of POSP scopes on the VZ58. I have one mounted and it is great set up.

I hate to be that guy to bump an old thread with "pic's please" but I always wanted to mount a small eastern block scope on my classic (1960's furniture) VZ58 sporter but hated to gamble with ruining the looks, mounts that don't work or lack of performance.

So how about some pics boyz???
 
Only issue I had with my POSP scope on my VZ is the eye relief was long and had to really crank my neck back to get a good picture

What was long exactly, the eye relief or that it sits so far back on the stock when mounted???

WestRifle POSP 3-9X24 lists 72mm (2.83 inches) eye relief and POSP 4x24 lists 68mm (2.67 inches) eye relief

I seen another dealer offer a Compact PO 3.5x20 with 65mm (2.55 inches) eye relief

What POSP did you try?

I own the west rifle 3-9x24 POSP (bought it for my SKS rifle) I have a CSA VZ58 that i can mount it on aswell, the eyepiece on this scope is about an inch longer (to accommodate for the zoom mechanism) than your standard fixed power POSP. Meaning it will mount on your SVD rail in the same place as other POSP's, BUT the eyepiece will stick out the back of the gun roughly an inch further thus making your cheek weld on the gun about and inch further back. If you have a telescoping stock, it will be no problem, but the standard VZ58 military stock may be alittle to short for comfort like Bfiles stated.

Great can't wait!

I imagine it looks something like this?

I'm also very interested in getting one of these for my VZ-58 but I have a few questions before I buy.

  • The POSP mount will work with the CSA VZ-58 without modification?
  • Do the issues with the scope extending too far back also apply to the fixed 4x, or is it shorter than the 3-9?
  • How well do these scopes retain zero when removed and reattached to the mount?
Thanks in advance, and I'd also be very interested in a picture or two!
