THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT Anyways, I was looking for input from anyone who has mounted these optics to their AK via the TWS Dog Leg. Does it work well? Do they end up too high for a propper cheek weld? Etc. Those are the main questions I have, but any general input regarding the subject and your personal experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Zog |

If you already have both then why don't you mount them up and test them?
Much better than relying on someone else's word. |

Both optics were designed with ARs in mind and will sit somewhat high on an AK. You can add a cheek rest to an existing stock or change the stock to one with an adjustable cheek rest if you so desired.

Do you have a side rail? You could get a MI scope mount and that way not have to mess too much with your rifle. Don't know if its cheaper or not.
I tried a EOtech on a slovakian's Vz. 58, and I actually liked the way it felt without a cheek weld, almost like it was designed to engage moving targets, just my personal preference |

I have thought about getting a side rail, but would like something that allows me a good cheek weld.

as for the cheek weld, mounting a scope or eotech isn't going to take away from your cheek weld, you could always add some additional height to the buttstock

I have the regular folding stock right now, what would be an ideal cheek riser that you would suggest?

I have an EO-Tech on mine. Its high but I use a MagPul MOE stock with their highest cheek riser and it works really well.
I dig it.
