Russian Night Vision Scope PN23 Gen 2-3

The pn23 scope in short

That scope is intended for field observation and target shooting with a hunting weapon in natural night lighting conditions of a moonless night at dusk. The integrated infrared illuminator allows for accurate observation and shooting in low light and total darkness. The illuminator is equipped with a ball swivel mechanism that allows the illumination beam to be directed in a given direction. Also the structure of the sight is in the form of an optical module and interchangeable mounts which allow the sight to be installed on different types of weapons.

• The sight is shock resistant in 9.3mm (rifled) and 12mm (smooth) calibers.
• The operational temperature range is from minus 40 to plus 40 degrees Celsius.
• Each rifle scope undergoes a rigorous acceptance test cycle, including impact test, leak test, freeze test, etc.
