This is the PK-01V, a red-dot sight from Belarus. I bought it primarily for use on my AK, but I wanted to see whether or not I could use it on my AR. Turns out it works just fine. At $160, it is a competitively priced alternative to the Aimpoint. I can post more info or pics if people are interested. Comp M included for comparison. Here I removed the PK-01V from the AK siderail mount with which it was included, and placed it in an Aimpoint mount with no problems.  The PK-01V is slightly longer, but like the Aimpoint has an aluminum housing. The difference in weight is not significant. The battery compartment (did I mention it uses AAA batteries?) does make it look bulkier.  Both optics on their brightest settings: PK-01V on left, Comp M on right.

| I got it direct from the POSP store in Belarus. I'm not sure what issues you had in mind, but it does appear to be free of parallax past 50 yards. |
