I am going to make this range report short and sweet. I recently
purchased a scope mount and scope for the SKS. The type of scope
mount was the kind that replaces the receiver dust cover as shown
in figure 3.
|
|
 I
only have two good things to say about this project: 1) I
did not have to modify my rifle to use the mount 2) I can
use the scope on another rifle. I installed the scope mount following
the instructions; removing only enough of the front rails to fit
the mount snuggly into the receiver.
|
 I
believe this is inherently a bad design for a scope mount. The receiver
cover is not a secure device to begin with and does not make a good
base for a scope to be mounted on. It took me almost sixty rounds
(sighting in) to even produce the grouping in figure 2. Every
time I thought I had the scope set, I would spray the target like
I had fired buck shot from a sawed off shotgun. My groupings were
everywhere. |
|
 I finally was
disgusted enough and took the scope off of the rifle. I fired forty
rounds at the same distance and grouped as well (or better) with
open sights as when shooting with the scope.
|

 I
do not recommend this scope mount for the SKS. I will look for a
better mount that is somehow attached to the receiver or other sturdy
mount and try again later. At least I did not spend very much for
this project!
