There are not many replicas of Soviet optics from the Cold War period on the market, but with the new Victoptocs products, their number will increase. Along with the new SVD series, we will get replicas of the classic PSO scope, the identical PO scope and the PK-A 1x28 sight. According to the manufacturer, the PSO replica uses a 24 mm lens with a fixed x4 magnification, and the PO scope replica will be based on the same 24 mm diameter lens but with variable magnification in the 3-9 range.
Scopes will also share the same SVD reticle and have red illumination. Unfortunately, the backlight will not be adjustable and will only have one level. In turn, the announced reflex sight will has a 28 mm diameter lens, a 4 MOA reticle in the form of a dot and, like the scopes described above, only a single level of brightness. According to the manufacturer, the mounts used will fit the AK dovetail mounts. Information on price and release date has not been provided.
