Scorpio SKS-15 7.62x39mm Non-Restricted

[Still alive]

The engineering, material, machining and assembly cost is certainly worth $650. If you can produce something for less without considerate modification to the base rifle have at it. I think you're missing the target market of this rifle...

I don't doubt that a lot of money was spent in the development and construction of the SKS-15. And the costs have to be recouped.
I just don't see just how much better this rifle is compared to a SKS-D or a Tapco/ATI stocked version to justify the price.

Anyways, this is NS's forum and me sh!tting on their product is very bad form so I'll bow out. My apologies.
Hope this rifle works and the sales prove me wrong. Having another NR gun just adds options for the Canadian shooter.

Who is the dealer?

I'd like to see a one of these use ak mags too. if there is feeding problems and you can't put in 10 in the xcr mag whats the point for a few extra rounds. You might as well have one that uses an an ak mag. At least they seem to work, my sks d runs just fine

Just buy the SKS-KD. Essentially the same thing except takes AK mags.

Read the thread. So far I've seen Western Metals advertising it and Bulls Eye Sports has been on here.

That thing looks like an XCR's retarded cousin.

Disassembly looks like a pain in the arse though.

LOL!


Everyone is trying too hard to turn the SKS into something... For me the main cool factor about an SKS is they are around $200, and surplus ammo use to be somewhat cheap to shoot.

An encased SKS requiring tools to disassemble before you can disassemble the actual action and requiring the suggested use of non-corrosive ammo which defeats the purpose of buying an SKS in the first place will get old very quickly.

IMHO, this gun took away the best reasons for owning an SKS in Canada and added $650 to the price tag.

This is not meant to replace your $200 beater.

Most buyers will still keep their normal SKS rifles. But they will add this to their collection as well.

Non-restricted, optics ready, and takes 10-round pistol mags for $850.

It's closest (only?) competitor would be a Keltec SU-16.
And those are over a grand for the AR-stocked version.

Stock is also aluminum vs. plastic for the Keltic.
Definitely not targeting the beater gun buyers with this one nor those who shoot corrosive.
