| I recently mounted a scope using a Russian scope mount. Problem is, the impact area is still about 8 inches low at 100yds, even with the scope dialed up to the limits. Anybody ever have this problem? Any ideas on how to cope with it? Thanks. |

I had the same problem.... what i did was place a shim (ie. a specifically cut peice of aluminum-pop can- to raise the rear end of my scope.....) It works great now.. and i dont have any problems with it moving..... the aluminum forms to the scope and mounts...and it expands and contracts at the same rate... |

I've had the same problem. Ruskie optics are designed to adjust ALOT more than western ones. A ComBloc scope will do just fine. Someone (Robarms?) has just come out with a mount that is adjustable in itself, that way you can dial in western scopes. the pop can idea is nifty. Just one layer? Inside the ring under the scope? |

Here is a pic of work done by a member of another AK board. He had problems with a 50mm scope clearing the rear sight so he added a 3/8" shim to raise the height of the scope. Also he had the same sighting in problems and added a washer under the rear bolt. Sporting scopes sold in the US have elevation adjustments that will move the bullet impact a total of 40-50 inches depending on model/brand. Russian scopes are military scopes so like most scopes for tactical/sniper rifles have elevation adjustments of 70-80 inches. So with a Russian scope you wouldn't have this problem like you do with a US scope with 1/3 less the amount of adjustment.
