What is the name of the optic used with the SVD?

The optic used with the SVD, or Soviet Dragunov Sniper Rifle, is known as the PSO-1. This scope is specifically designed to meet the needs of the SVD, providing a magnification range of 4x to 6x, which is ideal for engaging targets at various distances. The PSO-1 features a reticle designed for ballistic calculations, allowing the user to account for factors such as range and windage, which are critical in sniper engagements.

The design of the PSO-1 also includes an illuminated reticle and a range finder, enhancing its usability in low-light conditions and improving the overall effectiveness of the sniper in the field. Its alignment and integration with the SVD's design ensure that it maintains accuracy and performance standards expected of a precision weapon system.
