Scorpio SKS-15 7.62x39mm Non-Restricted

Considering the platform it is on. Make it as cheap for the end user as possible.

Why put a $500 chassis on a $200 rifle?

I take your point, but it's a semiauto NR carbine, shooting a 30 cal intermediate cartridge, in a nice aluminum chassis with decent ergos that takes 10 round detachable mags & is probably about as reliable as a gun can get. And it'll probably go for $799 at retail. And the ammo is relatively cheap.

The takedown looks like a bit of a pain in the ass, but quite frankly, as long as I'm not shooting corrosive, I've never felt that my $169 Soviet SKS really needed to be cleaned. 1000's of rounds and it's never failed. I can't say that about any other gun I've ever owned.

And as to the $...I don't know about you guys, but my spending habits vis-a-vis guns has never been driven by sound economic principles. It's all extra-curricular spending.

Can you tell that I'm trying to talk myself into buying one...?

Seems like a lot of gun for $850. The take down seems like a pain and I'm not a huge fan of the colour but it's a great idea. Canada's gun laws force us to find workarounds to enjoy our sport. If ar's weren't restricted we would probably just buy those instead. As it is this looks like a pretty good option at a fraction of the cost of anything similar

Thank you to the manufacturers that come up with new cool stuff for us to enjoy:dancingbanana:

Yes, totally agree.
And I do see this gun as superior to my gun in a tapco stock, other than the ease of takedown.
 
I think I will stick with my SKS-D. If its 800 dollars, I would rather spend the extra 200 to get a type-81.
 
People keep saying they don't like it... but wait until someone gets theirs set up with great look and results. Then things will change.

I like it ! GREAT WORK and keep on refining it more ! (May lead to more chases for MORE rifles :eek:D )
 
Everything anyone has complained about is easy to resolve given the price point IMO.
What I need is a range report; does it have better accuracy or is it status quo?
If it's 3gun accurate/reliable then it's a bargain and a half, if it isn't then what is it worth...?
I'm hoping it turns out, so far I like it.

That's exactly what I want to know, getting into 3 gun, is it accurate?

I might try one this year with a standard sks. We'll see.
 
I like the rifle but I don't really see why iot would improve accuracy. Accuracy on an SKS is usually improved with better sights, a smoothed out trigger and better ammo. Most ammo that gets sent through an SKS has variable accuracy standards.
