We love to accumulate new data on the SKS family and always love to see pics of the various SKS' or entire collections that our members come up with!

*Edit: I'm curious as to what mount you've used to mount your scope? It doesn't appear to be a Receiver Cover-type mount? But I can't see the left side, either.

Sorry about not getting the image up sooner
I used a pu scope with mount made for an sks
By accumount. Steep price alot of saving up
But we'll worth it

Post by: Larry D. on March 15, 2021, 02:46:25 PM: Normally I don't care for a scoped SKS, but that rig looks pretty good to me.
Title: Re: Greetings from Vermont
Post by: Rvulcan500 on March 15, 2021, 04:13:52 PM: Thank you. One draw back is the mount is milled so it adds a bit more weight
