1P86 sight overview

In 1963, the Soviet Union developed the PSO-1 sniper scope, which is still in production today. The main purpose of this optics is to be used on the SVD as the main sniper rifle of the Soviet army. PSO-1 meets the needs for shooting in open areas and territories. However, when the situation is associated with military operations in a fairly dense building, then it is already difficult to call it a suitable accessory. In this regard, the developers at one time set about creating a new sniper device. It was implemented on a special rifle weapons.

We are talking about the 1P86 sight and its use on the ASM Val submachine gun and the VSSM Vintorez special sniper rifle.

On the Lazarev Tactical channel, a version of the 1P86 review is presented with a story about its features and characteristics.

The plot tells, for example, that Russian special forces tried to replace PSO-1 on special weapons with optics of another version. This was done primarily for shooting at relatively short distances. However, changing the sight initially implied the need to “shoot” it - to choose the most suitable “setting” option for a certain type of shooting.

When 1P86 appeared, the situation changed. Samples of special weapons began to be equipped with them on a regular basis.

The disadvantage of any removable scopes is the need to zero them in after re-installation on the weapon and the Picatinny rail does not in any way eliminate this procedure. and in general, the strange addiction of gunsmiths to a dovetail connector is incomprehensible, as if this is the limit, then there are no thoughts
In general, it is high time to switch to electronic sights, two mini cameras for different ranges are "welded" at the factory "forever" plus a removable screen. and mini computer with image recognition function
