This was on a Saiga .308 that I'm getting rid of and I need to know what this optic is that was on top of it.

Kobra collimator. Good optic. The battery life is not great by American standards, but it's good. I've used them on AKs since the early 2000s. My son has one on his PSA GF3. Works great.

It's no longer the issued optic for AKs, but a lot of Russian soldiers buy them because the troops loved them. Rugged optics.

You have four reticle choices as well. Dot, Chevron / Dot, Chevron, and T.

If I wasn't having to pay taxes right now, I'd buy it from you assuming it works, and I can see it on, so i know it does.

A few years ago they replaced the switch that turns it on and off with a push button that also controls the reticle choice, where the reticle choice switch / button is on yours. I never had any issue with the switch like you have, but the Russians apparently thought it was, and it may have been less rugged in combat bouncing around on the ground and all of that.

Thank you. Everything seems to work fine. What are they worth?

A lot more now that you can't get those. I paid about $450 for the last one I bought, with tax and shipping.

If you use it, be sure to watch videos on it, and I can point you to a source for English instructions.

They're under the import ban on Russian stuff, so they've been unavailable for about a year.

If you keep it, and you need help with it, message me. It's complicated to zero, but once you're zeroed, it holds.
