damagegt

would anyone know anything about this Russian optic окп-7 ?
As far as I can gather its real steel designed for the civilian market and a hell of a lot cheaper then a Kobra

Here's a link to a forum but you'll have to translate

Iv been rooting though some russian fourms with the last hour or so and from what I can make out there selling from between 5500 RUb (135 euro) and 7000 RUB (175 euro) Thats a hell of a lot cheaper then a kobra and its a real steel product.

Thats a very good price and as its real steel it will be tough as nails. Even the kobra replicas will set you back around 100 quid so even 175 for a rs, I'd go RS anyday

Ya same here.I found a guy in the uk looking for 130 sterling or a genuine kobra but when I got back to him he changed it to 160.Its still a good price with the exchange rates at the moment but my pockets wont strech that far.

A friend got a real deal kobra a year ago for £60 on ebay... it takes some sleuthing but they can be found...

As for being tough as nails... You seen how exposed the lens is? Thats going to get utterly nailed by bbs... shattered to bits. The metal shield protects it from combat bumbs and scrapes, but generally a round that hits it square on is going to nail the soldier... a bb is just going to upset the out of pocket airsofter... Only one of the two will whine about the lens being weak :P or care :P

Surely the lens would be tough enough to survive a bb hitting it? Well I do suppose the real EO-Techs can crack from a bb, so it could well shatter/crack.

60 bucks! Iv been looking well over a year now and 130/160 is the best iv gotten.As for the lens getting smashed,I was thinking the same thing but would it not be the same as a reflex sight ? I cant make out how the lens is held in .Is it free floating or is it set some how into the hood?

oh this doesn't look to promising

looks fairly weak, deadly design though

It might not be all bad news

[FONT=Verdana, Arial]Changes:
1. stronger. Reflector is made of laminated glass technology.
2. other electronic component
3. the use of brand 2-color (red / blue switch and a red-yellow)
4. Another body
5. will be available in 2 variants mounting a reflector - a console like in NES-1 and ring in the other sights. So far, only a console.
6. Graticule became more[/FONT]

I can't see it living long without a Perspex shield over the front of it. Laminated or not, it's still thin glass versus a high speed projectile. It might take a hit or two, but a stray burst or a lucky strike could make scrap of it.

Ya I think your right.It seems to fragile.I got hold of some contact details of the company that makes them maybe they'll have some other products.My hunt for a russian optic continues.......
