Hey guys,

Put a side-rail on my 858 and I've been shopping for optics. Was looking at POSP scopes but upon talking to a gentleman who has some experience with them I received a damning review.

Confirm or deny. Are they crap?

I've also been looking at PSO scopes, anyone have experience?
Other decent alternatives are welcome. Should I just get a weaver side-mount and slap hubble on there?

One caveat though, my 858 is my go-to gun. It goes damned near everywhere with me. Hunting, camping, competition, everywhere except work. I 100% absolutely require a robust and reliable solution.

If you've been to hell and back with a side-mount scope I want to hear about it. Owners of safe queens need not apply.

Thanks in advance guys! :)
 
I know that they offer really good clarity for the price but mine did have a yellowish tinge to it. That said, it didn't really bother me. Also, I know steel casings bouncing off the scope will f**k it up in short order :p

Make sure you have a case deflector :D

Oh, they also zero really weird. The reticle doesn't actually stay centered in the view but actually moves relative to teh edges of your FOV. Again, this doesn't really bug me, just sayin'.
 
It's a combloc design with an old-school etched reticle that is no perma-centered. They work acceptably well though and are issued to this day on sniper rifle slike the SVD, so they are definitely not crap.

Mine is very clear with nice eye relief. The rubber eyecup is garbage though - I don't use it.

The illuminated reticle is also nice in that the POI is an arrow tip, so you don't lose precision when illuminated.

If you mount it on a VZ, make sure you use a shell deflector.

I have 2 x POSP scopes, one didn't come with a rubber eye piece, so I ordered a standard straight one on ebay and am very happy with it. Much better than the curved one they come with.
 
Interesting :D

Since I'm an official distributor of these scopes, you may ignore my opinion. However, POSP scopes are far more superior scopes for money. They should have price tag at least 5 times higher.

Unfortunately, many internet sellers (who are not authorized by manufacturer) offer POSPs that not passed quality control or offer nock-offs as genuine scopes. Hence, yellowish lenses and other problems…I'm not trying to convince anybody to buy them from me. Just keep in mind if you don't get warranty and support don't expect it to be 100% quality scope.

If you are looking for quality, durability, reliability, ease and readiness of use, POSP is the scope to go. These scopes have been tested many times in various conflicts. I haven't heard yet of any Russian special forces or just army soldier being angry or disappointed with POSP scope.
 
What Teapot said about POSP scopes that you may buy that are factory second rate it is true. Only buy them from official dealers Then you are assured of quality on par with the military issued equipment.
I have one it is very good scope, lenses are of high quality, it is rugged hard to damage. Only minus for me but it is only cosmetic I like scopes thet have centered recticles.
Its range finding recticle is extremly usefull plus it is iluminated

I used one in the army on AKM with a mount it was calibrated for 7.62x39 it made my quality made AKM a good designated marksmen rifle
 
One more thing TEAPOT has very good prices. You will find them on e-bay for $20.00 or so less but mostly they are factory seconds (They did not pass military acceptance inspection) I dont mean they are junk but are not the same what is issued to Eastern Block Armies
 
I recently put a POSP 4x24BM on my cz858. The reticle is graduated out to 300m for the 7.62x39. I used an AK mounting rail, the scope is a little bit high but i got used with very quickly. You can take it off the rail and will retain zero every time! Of course, the cz will never be a target rifle but the POSP is the best improvement i put on it. For my taste, its the better optic that my cz can have on, adjustments respond perfectly, illuminated reticle and light transmission is great. The empty cases hit the scope sometimes but i will stick a piece of rubber on the scope body to protect the finish but i dont worry for the adjustment, thoses scope are built to milspec so they can take cases hit. Thanks TEAPOT for the greats prices and services you offer!:)

Only thing ment for the Red Rifles in my eye's.

TeaPot2 is straight aces when it comes to these scopes also.
 
Question guys; are these POSP's primarily a semi-auto scope?
I'm in the process of aquiring an M-39 that has been mildly Bubba'd ( a freebie thank god ). It's been drilled and tapped for a scope but no mount or scope is included.
How do-able is the Universal side rail mount on Teapot's site; as far as M-39 / M-30/91's are considered?
Or am I better off going another route?
Thanks Tokguy

For anyone who has used the Kasat mount to mount one of these POSP scopes, what did you do about the fact they aren't centered on the rifle?

No real issue for me and since it's on a x39 gun the round is only accurate tell 300 meter's. So when I do try and hit the broad side of the barn it work's just fine. Although the furthest I have tried is about 500 meter's and did have to adjust a little bit but that's what a reticale is for ;)

That's a whole different beast together. The 54r is accuarte out to 1000 meter's. I would look for a PU mount and find a nice 10x fixed scope to place on that bad boy to really enjoy what it can offer. Also try the milsurp fourm as there are more infromation on there about scope mount's and scopes for that rifle.

Cool thanks, appriecate your help.
 
I think most guys get the fixed 4X for their VZ58's, which is also the least expensive model if I'm not mistaken.

Personlly, I went with the 6X version with variable diopter so I don;t need to wear my prescription glasses when I use the scope.

This is a good point to make - the non-D models are meant for someone either wearing their prescription glasses or with perfect vision. If your vision is only a little off (like mine where I only have trouble with long distances), get the D model so you can shoot up close without glasses and for long range, the scope is adjusted for your prescription.

The 6X is a wee bit big o nthe VZ58, but the extra magnification really helps IMHO.
 
or like me, variable zoom 2-6x24:

A fair number of combloc scope systems are offset to some degree. On the mosin nagant for example, they canted the scope in the mount to line the reticle up with the bore. Works fine for me, and the mosin is shooting far beyond where the 858 will ever accurately reach.
