They are more scarce than Mosin scopes, but it is real to find themThe more I read this thread the more I want to get one....and I said to myself only one rifle. Is SVT-40 with original scope (sniper) hard to find? I only see Mosin with scope around.
Originally SVT scopes were produced by FED factory in 1940-1942 (all scopes), and by Progress factory in 1940-1942 (1942 scopes with serial number without letter prefix, 1942 scopes with letter prefix were already produced for Mosin rifles). All other scopes, even if the they have SVT tube, were produced for Mosin snipers.
Here is a link with PU scopes collage from my collection. All possible variations are displayed.
First 7 scopes are SVT scopes.
