Does anybody make a VERY short rifle scope ?

#1 Post by breacher »

Some time ago I saw an extremely short riflescope somewhere online. It was low mag ( 1.5 or something ) and its overall length was about 4 or 5".

Does this ring a bell with anybody ? Google is failing me.

Whats the shortest overall length scope you have seen ?

Had a Beeman Short Scope for a while. Not to bad a little unit.

Mine was the fixed power SS1 model, there was also a variable one, the SS2

Quite possibly.

Looks like a modern version of PU ?

Do you know the length and tube o/d ?

its a PU (standard PU dimensions) with the addition of a machined spacer at the back to allow a PSO-1 rubber eyepiece to be fitted and an AK mount, I believe it was designed for an AK-74.Check out the link below :good:

ACOG's are small but expensive and would look daft on an older/wooden rifle. What are you putting it on?
