Rostec Presents New Optical Sights for Rifles

The first batch is available to customers from Russia and Western Europe

The Novosibirsk Instrument-Making Plant of the Shvabe Holding has produced the first industrial batch of optical sights designed to operate at short and medium distances. The devices will be supplied to customers in Russia and Western Europe. 

The Novosibirsk Instrument-Making Plant has launched the production of optical models PO104 and PO156. Among the advantages of the devices are a wide viewing angle, diopter adjustment of the eyepiece and six-level illumination for any brightness level. In addition, the sights do not go beyond the dimensions of the weapon's receiver and, when worn on the shoulder, do not touch the shooter's ammunition elements. The volume of the first batch of new sights was approximately one hundred units. 

The sights are almost identical but with differing magnification of the target - PO104 has two fixed positions of magnification - 1 and 4, and PO156 - 1.5 and 6 times. Instant change of magnification without taking the shooter's hand off the weapon is provided by a special switch in the lower part of the case. 

Thanks to the improved reticle that adapts to different tasks, the devices are suitable for both hunters and sportsmen. This is an innovative product that has no competitors in its price range, which allows to create a niche of budget tactical scopes with a discrete change of magnification in Western European arms markets. 

“Western European markets will be among the first recipients of these new sights. Russian customers will also get access to the new product. By the end of the year we hope to produce about 200 more products”, noted Vasily Rassokhin, General Director of Novosibirsk Instrument-Making Plant.
