I'm running a peep on mine, but I can see how a dot like the trs-25 on a scout mount would work great for this gun. This on a kwikrail wouldn't be out of place for the SKS platform either http://www.corwin-arms.com/product/military-rifle-scope-german-post-reticle-w-1-tube
red dot or variable powered sks?

I can see your point about LOP... Doesn't bother me too much on my Tula using open sights, but start throwing optics on, and I might change my mind... I come in at 6' but have just kinda gotten used to carbine guns with short LOP - my Gramp and Uncle (who taught me how to shoot growing up) were munchkins (5'6" and 5'8"), and that was reflected in their iron. More than once people have commented that my hold looks funny, like I'm "wrapped around" the stock, but whatever, I'm getting too old to change my stance.
Dangit, I'd promised my wife no more cosmoline stinking up the house until spring... I might have to stretch my definition of "spring" to include late Feb./Early March. My SVT & Grizzly cost me new flooring in the living room, I wonder what an SKS build out is going to cost me... Need to get a good negotiating strategy in advance otherwise she'll take me to the cleaners...

Actually the use of optics with the Wartak or KwikRail is a non ussue as you can move them forward or back for whatever is most comfortable. The rail has lots of acreage to allow for adjustment.
Can't remember off hand the name of them. I took my SKS to the gun store and they fitted them.
Any rings that'll fit a 1913, right size for the scope you're using on the kwikrail. What I like about these repros is that they'll fit standard 25mm rings instead of having a weird proprietary size.
That's your opinion - stick to it!
We mount scopes and ring gongs beyond 100 meters - I bet you can't do that.
Just a warning for kwickrail buyers, not sure if this was just mine or many are like this but my rail seemed to be oversized (in the top grooves). i tried to put my trs-25 from my 22 on there just to see how it would look and it wouldn't tighten it moved alot. I just got a scope and took it to the gun shop here and it took awhile to find rings that would fit tight and not move. The Weaver True Grip rings worked for mine. Just a heads up. Love the rail though works really good and is solid.
