2016 SHOT Show: Finally, a scope designed specifically for the SKS!

Ok, technically the scope was designed for the AK, but, the SKS is shooting the same round, so...

Bushnell is introducing a brand new scope with a bullet-drop reticle matching the ballistics of the 7.62x39 round. Since there are a few sks rifles in canada, and a couple of crates of ammo for them, i figure this scope will probably be popular. The reticle is calibrated to be zeroed at 200 yards. There are lines for 100, then 300, and finally 400. Now, i am fully aware that 400 yards may be slightly optimistic for a SKS (to say the least) but hey, why not.

Good news for my MINI 30
 
I've personally owned a tested the Wartak on my sks build and it has been flawless. The $139 price tag is steep but worth it. Never had an issue with returning to zero even after field stripping and complete disassembly.
 
My SKS has seen about 10 000 rounds with the WARTAK rail. Rail itself is great, it will hold the zero well enough. Acts like a good shell deflector too. The mounting pins that came with the Wartak only lasted about 6000 rounds though. I would have no hesitation recommending the Wartak.
 
PU scope...

Next question!
I'm curious what experience you have had with this scope to come out with that opinion? It will be the same quality as the Bushnell AR series which have turned out to be a decent scope for the money, the only difference will be it will be set up for 7.62x39 as opposed to 5.56. After all it's an SKS and I would not invest a large amount of $ on optics for this platform. Phil.
 
Don't know a whole lot more about the scope. I did look through it though. Illuminated reticle. Dot at centre, and the three other dots under it are actually inverted "V". Pretty cool in my opinion.
