alittle heavy, but i like the Kobra.
Different scopes
I was actually just about to put up a thread asking about this.
I have been researching this for a while, and would prefer a scope rather than a red dot sight. The look I've liked the most is the remake russian scope sets from East wave:
http://www.eastwave.ca/products/scopes/posp8x42d.html
It's made by EX military company, so they're cheaper, but apparently still good quality. $180 with shipping and taxes for basic. Two board members at least have gone this route with nothing but good things to say about it:
(these are pics I swiped off various threads, I think both the CZ stickied thread, so credit goes to them)
Please note the no gunsmithing mount on this one - it attaches firmly without altering your rifle at all. Kasat makes it I believe.
Note the longer brake on this one, making it look more like an SVD - still can't find where they're available...
Anyways, what do people thing - worth it?? I've been really debating it, as I have never really been a "scope" owner - milsurp iron sights only so far....

How long are the scount mounts? Around 4-5 Inches? Ive been looking around but I cant seem to find it anywhere 
no one likes the scopes eh? Geez, maybe I should make a separate thread, so as not to jack this one
Don't worry brother, I like scopes. Gonna be putting in an order to Kalinka Optics when school's done and I have money again
Picked up an extra job to cover gun expenses. Spent my cz budget on something else
Which scope are you going for?
Just got my POSP on Friday and mounted it yesterday. Might go to the range today... if I got time. I thought the scope would be the silver paint but mine came in Black. It also had a faulty switch for the illumination, it wouldn't turn off. So I replaced the toggle switch with a working one. I also chopped down 2 mags last week. Coming up next will be a wood SVD stock.

I love that mount. I have to buy it. I just want to know how much it is with that matching scope and mount, and I'll be set.
I wouldn't mind it if they had one that was a bit more chrome or stainless looking though. To match my stainless brake.
I mounted mine using a piece of 1/4" steel plate cut at 7/8" by 5". I drilled all the holes for the receiver pines and ground out about a 1/16+" deep by 3/4" long on the back side of it to accommodate for the step on the receiver.
If you make a plate like this you can place the mount as far forward as you want. I drilled the extra hole for good luck . It was too close to the mounting screw in the receiver.
The whole thing is easy to remove as well and rock solid.
The screws in the POSP mount don't interfere with the scope mounting.
