Bars (Барс) PO 1x22
Multi - NA - Russia - commercial






Made by VOMZ/ВОМЗ (Вологодский Оптико-Механический Завод/Vologda Optical and Mechanical Plant) in the early 90s, the Bars (Барс) was a series of battery powered OEG sights marketed for hunting. The PO 1x22 appears to be the most basic sight of the Bars series with the other models being the more advanced PO 1x26 and PO 2x40. The LC-1 (ЛЦ-1) laser sight also sold under the the Bars name.


While the Bars series was not intended for military use, an attempt to make a battery powered OEG for the Russian military resulted in the Vyuga (Вьюга) sight.
