Scout Industries SKS scope mount.
Hi all, been away for a while but health is back on track so thought I'd post a short review on this awesome product.
So there are 1000s of SKS owners in NZ and finding a way to mount a scope on these rifles is a nightmare, well here is the answer, this slots directly into the rear site leaf sight slot and is rock solid with no need to modify the rifle, it's stupid simple to install and you can choose from two different rail lengths, I may end up bringing these in myself at some point, I have spoken to the guy who designed these and he is easy to deal with and helpful, couldnt speak highly enough about my dealing with him and the product. For info here's the link.
SKS Scope Mount | Scout Industries, Inc
here's the info from the website.
Improved accuracy - free floating design-scope mount secured to gas block-does not touch receiver, dust cover, gas tube or barrel
2 piece design - the scope mount base stays on the rifle & the scope stays mounted to the picatinny rail to be removed as one piece with no loss of zero
CNC machined billet 6061 black anodized aircraft strength aluminum - no casting to crack or fail
It is a traditional rear sight when not using optics - takes less than 10 seconds to remove optics
No gunsmithing - No drilling or tapping - No permanent alterations
The ScoutScopes.com mounting kit is made by Scout Industries, Inc. in the USA since 2001. No gunsmithing required, do it yourself installation, and typically less than 30 minutes to be "range ready" (It helps to have a quick clamp or a spare hand when assembling). Simply remove the factory rear elevation sight, leaving the leaf spring in place, and install the scope mount base in its place; securing it to the gas block, which is the sturdiest element of the rifle. Buy a 2nd picatinny rail and outfit it with an extended eye relief scope and now your rifle can easily adapt to a different shooting situation with no loss of zero. No other scope mount system offers this type of flexibility! The scope base also has an aiming groove milled down the centerline, at the approximate heighth of the factory rear sight, to keep the rifle with "iron sights". You just need to adjust the factory front sight to get on target. With the scope base staying on the gas block, the rifle can be completely disassembled and reassembled with no loss of zero. The highest quality standards and materials are used to give you a lifetime of service and satisfaction. Your rifle can be returned to its original configuration because no drilling or tapping is required for installation and smooth point set screws are used. This upgrade makes a good rifle great and hopefully your new "go to rig". MANUFACTUER'S WARRANTY : This scope mount is covered by a limited lifetime warranty
