Matrix Illuminated PSO-1 Type Scope for Dragonov SVD Sniper Rifle Series (Color: Black / 4x24)

"I got this one for my Matrix SVD Dragonov.

It was very hard to get on. Even after I figured out that I need to place the front bolt of the scope into the center grove of the gun rail it would not slide in all the way.. I lubed it and finally had to gently tap it in with a hammer.m, good thing its full metal

The objective has a lens cover which is great but it has begun to rub off a thin film on the scope. I don't know why the film is there and the gun does not look bad without the film. It might be to protect from rust?

The lens is very clear and scope works with or without illuminating the target sight.

the gun DOES LOOK VERY COOL WITH IT.

It is a bit expensive but with the 20% off coupon it helps

PROS:

- Full Metal = VERY STURDY!
- Clear Magnification
- Sight can be used with or without illumination
- Batteries are installed and it came with an extra set
- Comes with Front Lens cover

CONS:

- VERY HARD TO GET ON
- The outside front of the scope has a plastic film that has already started to rub off from the friction
of the objective lens cover
- A Bit Pricey.

Final thoughts,

It is a very nice scope, I am not crazy about the design but then again it is Russian.
So for this scope

I give it 8/10

"Its all solid metal. Has a good weight to it, reticle is correct. I dont like leaving crummy reviews as there are some features that would usually push it past. HET, Comrade. Doesnt fit, and according to other reviews im not alone. Unless they were going for that quality "Soviet mass produced by political prisoners" feel it seems like its manufactured with ill fitting parts. Also all the exposed wires are connecting battery to switch to reticle is begging to get caught on something. Looks cool. But im looking at a paperweight. 2/5 Bourscht.

"I'm pretty disappointed in the scope. It looks amazing externally and with a little modification of the castle bolt and lubrication of the rails of my VSS it fit like a charm. Unfortunately, you cannot adjust the reticle for windage and elevation and the scope is off-center to the left. Get this scope only if you just want a scope for your SVD/SVU/VSS and just want to use it to see where your BBs are going. I still plan to use this scope, but probably just for more casual games.

"Bought the scope awhile ago, sold it within a few weeks. My PSO didn't zero or even move when adjusted. Barely fits on a RS SVD even when adjusting the nut. Would make a good movie prop.

"This scope is really bad the magnification is good but the illumination is terrible. the scope won't stay lit for more than30 seconds and even getting to stay on that long is very lucky. I tried replacing the battery twice and it will not stay on. very disappointing. I'm not sure if I got the bad one of the bunch but definitely not worth the price.
