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

[louthepou]

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.

 

[Nevwyn]

Nifty.

 

[Donster 125]

Would be interesting on my CMMG Mutant.

 

[bfiles]

I like it but I hope it isnt ITAR regulated like almost every other scope with 7.62x39 bdc

 

[Magellann]

I have no doubt that the scope will be up to the task, but get a decent mount for a stock SKS seems to be the more difficult challenge.

 

[tobaman45]

this scope should work on the cz 958's

I thought all scopes were itar regulated.

What kind of mount actually works on a SKS? Holds zero,doesn't get in the way of field stripping,ect.

PU scope...

Next question!

 

[TV-PressPass]

Did you see Vortex got themselves a 2-7x scout scope too? All those handguard optic mounts

 

[ljones]

Would be nice for my CZ527 in 7.62X39...

 

[vancity]

Price?

In one sense, they are all subject to ITAR regulation, but for some the ITAR regulation is no export.

 

[Rebel Rouser]

Sage has a sweet new stock they released for the SKS.

I've found the crappy receiver cover ones work great! I have 2 now that return to zero, & are easy to field strip, you just have to tap the mount and receiver where the receiver pin goes. Cheap, easy, and works great

Wartak requires an allen key to open, but otherwise is unobtrusive and holds zero better than most.
Side mounters that are actually tapped into the receiver are good too, and allow you to keep your irons, which the wartak doesn't.
Avoid anything that replaces or mounts to the dust cover.

 

[r34skyline]

There has been other 62x39 optics for the ak platform but still not as many options ar platforms more is always welcome.
