For an optic you can bet your life on there are more durable options.
Okay, I will have to totally disagree with that summary, more durable? What's so non-durable on a Kobra sight? I mean, please specify how you came to that concusion, I really do want to know. What in your experience is not durable enough on a Kobra sight to bet your life on? And indeed, they truly did employ them in combat in the first Chechen conflict. Lets put cash money on the table, before I show you some images to prove it. I guess you are an Aimpoint man?
Doug, why do you even bother wasting your time arguing this point over and over. There will always be commando groups that swear by aimpoint, and that Russian stuff is inferior.
i remember you did an incredible write up and a comparison of our very own PK-AS (that has features that aimpoint couldn't even hold a candlestick to), right here in the optics section. That should have been made a sticky...
i will try to dig it up.
let them buy $700 + optics that they can "rely on with their life". and will keep our junky clunky- high over the boor sitting commie crap.
irons.
you want an optic and have exellent cheek weld?get a quality stock or make your own adjustible cheek piece for a traditional triangle stock, then simply rotate the cheek piece
oh oh batteries are dead..no problems
you want red dot? you want BDC for 5.45 @ your fingertips?
what the hell do Russians know about optics that they can "rely their life on" anyways?
perfect cheek weld, takes less then 4 seconds to take off....and under 300$ for a decent PK-AS.
whats not to like?
:allright:
and here some history.
this whole "get a western optic" crowd should think about this. When they say "western" they usually mean "aimpoint", which is far from western. Being a Swedish made optic, this is not far from "eastern world"
since the term "Russia" comes from an Ancient Swedish tribe of Variags called "Rus" that settled the northern region near now called "murmansk" and most "true" Russians are nothing but decendants of their Viking ancestors that settled that area and then migrated south.
so when you buy Russian, Swedish... :twisted: :wink:
