I just recently bought a Yugo SKS. After my first trip to the range, I realize I really need some sort of scope on it. It seems like it is good out to well over a hundred yards. Unfortunately, I can't say the same of my eyes. I am trying to figure out the best optics to get for it, and was wondering if anyone here had some other suggestions. Here are my options that I see so far:
1) I am buying an ACOG for an AR I have. I was contemplating some sort of Pic. rail mounted on the receiver cover of the SKS, and just sharing the scope between the two rifles. I know the scope will be set up for 5.56 instead of 7.62, so the ranges will be off. Any other problems with this? Has anyone made a cover mounted rail setup, or will I need to make it myself?
2) If that isn't practical, I was thinking about the HITECH scope setup, since it comes with a new receiver cover, and the mount already installed. Does anyone have any experience with this one? Any other recommended scopes?
Thanks for any suggestions.
