Under 100 yards, I would go with a red dot. I use an Eotech EXPS2 on my Armalite x39 rifle. Ignore the magnifier, you wouldn't need it at such close range.
 On my YHM x39 rifle, I use a TA33-G13 with the 7.62x39 BDC reticle. Probably more than you want to spend.  |

Try this Hawke Red Dot.
$42 on closeout. If it's simply a rebranded Bushnell Trophy red dot, it's a great deal. I've got Bushnells on my slug guns for myself and my kids. Should be good for close-in fun with a 7.62x39. Don't order until I get mine first. ;) John |

depends what you do, hog hunting with a gun light, i used a bushnell banner 1.5-4.5 and was very good. But when I got my PVS-14, I got a EOTECH, to mate to it. It works good with a gun light. but if a gun light is all you are going to use , a 1-4 power scope is all you need to reach to 300yds, if you practice and you always have it on 1 power to use with both eyes open for quick acusition.

i used a bushnell banner 1-4 scope too, not the most fancy scope but kept zero and was rugged enough for hunting

Weaver 1-3x is a decent scope at a reasonable price. Lightweight, too.

Once again. Depends on what ya wanna do. I know a few of my friends started swapping their low power scopes on their rifles when they realized they would never print the small groups I was getting out of my 7.62x39 gun. It wears a 6x18 NIkon. Over kill for hunting. Just right for paper punching.

Why not a Leupold VX1 2-7x or 3-9x.
They are bombproof relatively cheap and good for target. If you want more magnification a Nikon ProStaff Rifle Scope 4-12x is decent for the $. |

Don't forget the new P223 3 X 32 Nikon. I put one on a 300 blackout for hunting and love it so far. You can use the Nikon Website to get an approximate yardage on the BDC markings for each caliber and bullet specification. Really helps on slower/intermediate calibers for compensating for such a quick bullet drop at shorter ranges.

I've got the Bushnell banner 1-4x on my 7.62x39, for the $$$ it's a great scope and about the cheapest available above the NC Star/UTG stuff. Crosshairs are VERY HEAVY on the outside with a diamond and fine crosshairs in the center. Seemed kinda annoying at first compared to the crosshairs in my Primary Arms 4-12x50 scope but they stand out in low light/shady conditions and the center crosshairs are fine enought for long range target shooting. Glass is good but not as nice as my PA scope, everything I've purchased from Primary Arms has been great. The Banner 1x4 scopes come in two versions, the 1.5-4.5x and a 1-4x which I have. It's not a true 1x, more like a 1.25x, but I think I paid $150 new for mine. Just don't put one on a rifle with a FSB, you'll get a double ghost image of the FSB that won't go away.

How far out would you use this optic?

Strikefire is a 4moa red dot, so consider that 8" of a target is covered at 200yds. I'd think that might be a good range for that optic.
