PEM scopes?

Has anyone had any experience with the Soviet PEM scopes?($300) I see a pre war model with forward turrets and a post war model, cheaper, with middle turrets.($200) They seem like a cheapish and robust scope, any thoughts? Would $200 buy a better scope with a T post german style reticle?

Yes, you can't get into them! If it's out of focus or has parallax, it's there for good
