Are the Russian AK scopes any good?  Particularly the 8X42 offered at www.nightvisionweb.com ?  Thanks.    

Thanks Troy that completely answered my question you smart ass.  Does anyone have any information that I can find useful regarding the Russian AK scopes? Thanks.

I don't have any experience with the scope you mentioned, however the Russian made Kobra sights are very good. These are quick aquisition red dot style sights only they are designed to work with all variety of AK's. They have a chevron type reticle and performed very well at the range when I sampled a few on various AK's. Ask Wave, he probably knows more about them than I do, he has one on his VEPR. Take a look at thier website if you want to know more about the models offered. They even make a weaver style base for AR15's.www.tantal.kalashnikov.guns.ru/bstkobra.html

Quoted: Sure.  They hold doors open just fine.  You can scratch the middle of your back with them too.  All sorts of uses. -Troy

CampyBob and RotDorn are going to own you for saying that.

Anyway, I have a PSO-1, and it's OK, but there's no friggin eye relief. I prefer American made scopes hands down. If you want a good quality made scope for the money, look into IOR.
