Scorpio SKS-15 7.62x39mm Non-Restricted
- Thread starter North_Sylva

Huh, kinda cool. If it was $650ish, I'd give it a try, just for the hell of it. If it's easy to remove the gun from the chassis for cleaning, it could actually be ok. Too pricey for me to seriously consider at $850 though.

I like it and think the price is reasonable for what you get. I may be in for one myself depending on how easy it strips down for cleaning.
Sooo... winner of the #1 asked question goes to:
"How do you take it down for cleaning"... which is totally valid and I WANT to ask it too... but I wont.
Would be nice if SOMEONE would answer it.
I love it when companies come up with new guns, no matter what they are. Anyone complaining about this gun IN ANY WAY should just accept that its not for them. Though they are more than likely the same people who complain when a new, super high end gun gets approved by the FRT lab and goes on sale for $3000... as if a high end gun thats non restricted is going to cost alot less in canada.
Also, I have 12 7.62X39 pistol mags... some new, some OLD... all run 10 rounds flawlessly through both an XCR AND my VZ58 with a magwel. I have no idea how other people can be having so many issues with them when I've got such a wide variety and they all feed 10 rounds without EVER having a problem. Ive done nothing to them either. They just work.

I think it is kind of cool, but then I like the SKS platform. What annoys me is when companies such as North Sylva make something cool like this for a reasonable price (it is reasonable when you look at the work that went into it) and everyone just b%tches about it. These are the same people complaining in other threads about the lack of under $1000 non-restricted black rifles.
Since you obviously have one, could you answer the take down question? How easy is it to clean?

I do too. Reliable, robust and runs like a top. I also really dig the 7.62x39 round. That being said, and the price of this new one being what it is, I can't afford to be in on the first wave of testers. I'll let others do that and make up my mind from there after I see a few different honest reviews from customers who have put it through its paces. I'd really like a hunting rifle in x39 and this just may just be it.
It seems like a cool modern bush gun, what's not to like.
Looking forward to some reliability and field report, maybe a video or something.
Hey how about invite one of those well known you tube gun guys to make a review?
I would like to see it in action darn it!

True that, I'm an XCR guy and even I really like this rifle.........but I'm an SKS lover in all forms as well and given $650+ tax gets you an SKS with HiCal adapter..........and this looks FAR NICER.........so for $200 more you get a sweet ass SKS chassis setup ($140+ for a cheap tapco strikeforce to compare)............I could see one of these ending up in my safe.
This isn't a new gun. This is an sks in a new $600 chassis.
It's a reasonable price if you break it down. Magwell costs $150, and they require heavily modifying the gun. Throw a decent stock into the mix and you're easily reaching the $800 mark.

Thanks for everyone's feedback. We are currently busy working on several videos showing reliability at the range as well as the disassembly process. Please stay tuned. 
Also we would like to mention that each receiver is hand fitted to the chassis, and the rifle will hold zero after disassembly.
