Anyone have any experience with one of these, thinking about it for a Bulgarian AK 74. This one

Any other suggestions for a good optic for a fixed stock AK74?

That is probably a rock solid scope, NPZ makes a very good product. The FOV of that scope is fairly impressive for what it is.

If you can live with fixed magnification, this is an excellent value.

I own a few NPZ optics and the quality and toughness is as good or better than any other Combloc optic out there.

I want one as well. I'm thinking this would be ideal for my Saiga 308 project.

I have yet to see anyone post a review on these newer PSO variables. I wish someone would get one and review it. I'm betting they're good scopes. I wish these were available when I was shopping for an optic for my PAP, I would have picked one up. Went with a fixed power PSO.

Yes, if you get one please post some pics. The concern I have is with the PSO AK clamp. It does not use the POSP V clamp, but a modified SVD clamp with the stop pin at the rear instead of the front - so my concern is one of eye relief. The V clamp fixes the eye relief problem; I am not sure the PSO AK clamp does. Of course if this is the case you could always fit it with the V clamp.

Does that mean the scopes slide onto the side rail from the front as opposed to pushing them on from the rear of the rifle?
Thanks.

No, scope still slides on from the rear.

Got it, thanks.
TIU, did you order this scope?

Well someone should give it a try.

Damn, with the 100% Russian text how did you even find that on their site?

PS- before the above scopes came out, I landed a demo Loopy 1.5-5x for my main AK and really like that range on a fighting gun, and unlike some of the 'true 1x' whiners I have zero issues with looking both eyes open at 1.5

To be honest, I don't even recall.
Also found a youtube with the optic a few days ago.

Bought one from Kalinka about 3 years ago. I like my Warsaw stocks but you'll have to go with a Nato length since it does sit far back. Wish the 600 meter reticle would be placed on more scopes. But it really needs to be redone. The x16 is too small it should be x24 because with the 16 is like having tunnel vision. When adjusting the power the reticle would move off to a side and didn't stay centered. The scope should be moved forward about 2 inches. I've since sold the scope.

This is what I figured. I have seen a picture of a forward type clamp on a PSO, but have never seen one for sale here.

Something like this would give the low height benefit of the SVD clamp and the forward benefit of the V clamp. The only problem I have with the V clamp is how it raises the optic too high.
