1x optics (non red dots)

Does the US market have an equivalent of these Russian optics?

They're basically telescopes with no magnification. They're apparently designed as a reflex sight but have traditional reticles (some calibrated for ex:5.45x39mm) for distant shooting.

When you say equivalent, do you mean equivalent as in reticle style, calibration, power, or type (commercial or military grade)?

I mean as in.....

-no magnification for close quarters, fast target acquisition
-reticle designed for long range shooting


I've never seen an optic like this in the US.

One of the newer eotech's has a two dot setup for holdover as I recall.
Seems like there is another, but nothing I've seen in a non-magnified optic as "in depth" as those are.

I've been eyeing this one, speaking of reds, and wondering if I can get any sorta co-witness with it somehow. http://www.kalinkaoptics.com/rifle-scopes/red-dot/pk-a-military-fast-acquisition-red-dot-rifle-scope-weaver-version.html

Unless you want a optic for limited class in three gun. I see no real practical use for a 1x optic with a long range reticle. If you need to shoot long you would benefit from some magnification.

Seen AVG do that with Kalinka, think it's a false positive. I've looked at that site from many computers and never found anything unpleasant after. Or, it's an evil Russian plot.

I've got a Burris ShortMag 1X. I don't think Burris makes them any more but you can still find them new for about $160. If I remember correctly, it has a 4" - 10" eye relief.

I used it to practice with it before I got my T-1. I liked using it and still use it off and on another rifle. I'd think it would be better than the Russian stuff.

Burris Shortmag 1X

I received a SWFA riflescope.com catolog a few months ago and it was listed in there, but on the website I could not find one.

I had similar thoughts and purchased a Leupold 2.5X20 mm scope. It does have magnification but is very minimal, more like two power. It is a very fast scope to use, fairly rugged, and uses no batterries.

I have written about my experience with the optic in other threads if you are interested in learning more about it.

I would check-out most of the standard optics manufactures such as Bushnell, Weaver, Nikon, Tasco, Sightron, etc. there may be a similar offering to the Burris if that is ultimately what you decide to acquire.

P.S. In my limited experience with Soviet/ Russian optics they are typically somewhat crude, but that does not necessarily mean they are ineffective by any means.

Very much so. Have shot several assorted com-scopes, some illuminated and some not. Impressed for the money. Have not used any of the red dot's though.

Not a 1x but..

I wish that ar332 could magically appear inside an aimpoint at the touch of a button. Be handy to transition from up close to further out.
