ive got a belarus scope on my saiga.
it's not illuminated like that one.
if it is like mine the reticle moves when you zero the scope which is an odd thing to us westerners.
if you put a 6 foot man in that scale thingy thats how far away he is and then you use the appropriate chevron.
it does work.
that scope is deadnuts on for my rifle and that is where the reticle ended up/
it's a 400 m. scope

Note the bold statement of a one year warranty.
But, where would find someone to honor the warranty? I don't think you would want to ship your scope off to, well, some place in Russia none of us can pronouce!
I would hold off on this until you have time to communicate with people owning the scope who can advise as to optical quality, ability to hit the target with it, eye relief, what calibers they have
used with the scope, etc.
Are the scopes you see on the 700 dragunov type rifles the same brand as these?
They look similar. I dont know a thing about the russian millitary type scopes, except they have textured paint and look like pipe fittings from the hardware isle at Home Depot. They seem like they should be durable.....uh
Just remember, guys, the Russian design philosophy applies as much to their optics as it does to their weapons. They don't give a hoot how pretty they are, or how clunky they look, or how primitive they seem compared to American state-of-the-art. They just want them to work. And usually, they do. 'Nuff said.
