Anyone have experience with Fitco SKS sniper scope & mount?

[marmot]

Initially I wanted to buy a wartak rail and a red dot for my soon-to-be-mine sks but I saw this and it looks a lok more "authentic", if you can call it that. Sort of like something a sniper would actually have used in the Balkans or something. So does anyone have experience with this setup? The mounting instructions are kinda iffy on the Fitco website where it says you have to drill holes in the mount and then affix it using screws to "the wood part on the left side" (their words, not mine). Does this mean it's mounted to the stock and not the receiver? Seems like that wouldn't retain zero very well and you'd need to dissassemble it for cleaning.

spend the $ once and get good stuff rather than wasting it on products like that you're asking about.
one word, rhymes with "gunk" and starts with "j"
