SKS Scope and Mount

[pjt]

The old eyes arent what they used to be so I am thinking of mounting a scope on my SKS.
Has anyone had sucess with reciever mount scope packages?
Wht did you like and what could of been improved?

I gave up trying to mount a scope on my SKS. The receiver mounts usually rattle apart even with locktite.

I scoped mine...mind you I was using a Dragonuv style stock. Didn't work worth poopookaka for me. I did have a nice side mount though.
If you insist on doing it...DO NOT use a mount that only connects to the receiver cover! Get a side mount that RIVETS (TIGHTLY) to the side of the frame. Mine was attached by short short screws. And even with red loctite they'd loosen.
Even then theres going to be no great accuracy as the Sks is only a hundred yard gun tops.

I wonder if Suprathepeg's new VZ mount would also work well on the SKS carbines?

I think it might work with a low mount, when we get the chance we'll give it a try.

The B-Square mount has worked for me so far but I have only shot about 450 rounds through my SKS. I used blue loctite which isn't as strong as the red stuff. I have cleaned the rifle during this and the scope has even kept zero.
