Kalinka Optics

[Sailor]

Did anybody try their rifle scopes like PPO 5-20x50 FS or something?

Any feedback?

Be afraid, be very afraid.

I asked them about their line and they recommended the 3.5 one (the WWII replica) as their best in the line, and of course the other ones that were allegedly used by their Spetznaz troops.... they are so high priced... ouch.
The only one I'd get would be the 3.5 one.

I have a PPO 6x40S. It is a great scope, very very clear optics and built like a tank. I have it on my Nork M14 and am very happy with it. It trounces my Bushnells at home, has better light transmission than my Leupy Vari-X III 6-20 variable on my precision rig (Sako A2 action, Douglas air gauged barrel and MacMillian stock in 308)and is about the same for crispness. I am slowly switching over to Russian optics. My Swiss Arms rifle wears an ATN 5x33L, my Ar-15 has a Veber 8x50E and my other AR has a Veber 3-9x50. Bang for the buck you can not beat the higher end Russian optics.
