The invention relates to the field of aiming optical systems, and particularly discloses a periscopic universal aiming optical system which comprises a right-angle search prism, a rhombic prism, a telescopic objective lens, a reticle, a right-angle prism, a condensing lens, a Pechan prism, a relay lens, an isosceles prism and an eyepiece group; wherein a rhombic prism transverse moving light pathis arranged above the right-angle search prism, the telescopic objective lens is arranged above the rhombic prism, the reticle is arranged above the telescopic objective lens, and the right-angle prism is arranged above the reticle; the right side of the right-angle prism is provided with the condensing lens, the right side of the condensing lens is provided with the Pechan prism, the right side of the Pechan prism is provided with the relay lens, the right side of the relay lens is provided with the isosceles prism, and the eyepiece group is arranged obliquely above the isosceles prism. The periscopic universal aiming optical system of the invention has the advantages that an image stabilizing technology in which the right-angle search prism is used for search and the Pechan prism is usedfor compensation is adopted to realize vertical wide-angle search and horizontal 360-degree search of a telescope, the search range is wide, an operator does not change along with the change of the target in the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, and man-machine operation is coordinated.
