which milsurp scope is it?

[rangerruck]

I seemed to recall, that the ww2 era mosin sniper rifles were fielded with two diff scopes; a PE and a PeU. One of these scopes , I think, had a light device that came on inside of your viewing lense, and would show up green, if someone out to your front, was using a IR type light, or a nightvision device, and it was shining in your general direction. Is this true, and which version is it, that does this?

To my knowledge, neither the PE/PEM or PU scopes had some sort of light device. Both are very simple designs. The PU being the simplest of all. Although the PE had a focus ring, while the PEM did not.

RangerRuck, the answer would be none, All of the MN Sniper scopes were barebones beat em up battle scopes and as IR illumination technology wasn't in use during WWII there was no reason for any Army to create a scope to detect its use....

hmmm, ok then , what the heck warsaw pact scope am I thinking about? Anybody got any ideas, I remember reading about this , in a small arms review, about a year ago, and though this would be very cool to put on my Saiga 223. they even showe a little inside pic of the scope, with the little lite on. And i remember that it had a curved rangefinding line , on the inner glass, which is why I supposed it was one of the mosin scopes.

The curved line is also found on the Dragunov, perhaps some type of Starlight scope?

beats me, i do not remember the scope being a nightsite type, I just remember i was very impressed a warsaw pact scope, had the ability to detect, whether another illuminator/ir vision device was looking in it's general direction.
