Scoping an SKS - Recommendations needed

[SVT-40 sniper]

a red dot would be fine

Who cares about your opinion. He wants to scope a cheap rifle and enjoy it so he will.

I have a Vortex Crossfire II 6-18x44 AO BDC mounted on a Wartak rail and I love it. Every other SKS I have seen at the range are stock and some people have never seen a modernized scoped SKS before.

I love my SKS-M with a cheap 3-9x 42.

Next up after I have parts is a SKS-MC5D with a Bushnell elite 10x in a custom thumbhole stock. Should be sick.

Everybody does.

trueshot mount with ncstar 3-9x42 scope works for me.. 20rd test gave me a 5 inch grouping at 100yards and its still not quite dialed in.. the muzzle break helped alot

I have never seen one of those I see it bolts below the receiver cover, way better than than those ones mounted to the receiver cover that will not hold zero at all.

I see you would have to remove it to clean the rifle though.

Put the original stock on yesterday. I think I'm going to put the wood handguard back too. I kinda like it like this.

Magwedge Kwikrail or nothing IMO.

I'd like an optic of some sort that isn't a red dot on an sks but I'm just not willing to give up stripper clips.

I have to say, of all the mounts I've tried on the SKS, the Choate is still the one I prefer. Not for an unfired, non refurbed Russian 1949, though! Pre-bubba'ed SKS... no guilt from drilling the receiver.

Can you still use the iron sites with that mount.

Choate mount would be what you're after then. Me, didn't want to drill the receiver.

^^ Ha! Someone beat me to it.

same here that's why I went true shot scope mount.. takes an extra 5 min to remove and clean the rifle but I don't care..

I wasn't concerned with stripper clips since I went with a sks-d

mine is a 1954 Russian run of the mill sks not a collectable that's why I didn't really care if it was drilled or not.. just wanted a cheap rifle/ammo that I can shoot the hell out of stuff with lol

if you mount a POSP to your SKS, it will most likely hang off the the left enough to clear stripper clips, ive seen it before.

The True shot seems to be very good as my project is almost finished. Stripper clip usage was a big thing for me so this one seems to be the one I prefer. Couldn't find ultra low rings so I had to settle with lows as the Trueshot mount already boosts things upward quite a bite.

Nice piece of lumber there.
