Thread: Sks + Red dot - recommendations plse

Arvo all, I've been running a sks with a compact scope, but I'm interested in changing to a red dot.
Anyone got recommendations on brands ?

cheers

...Eotech....Aimpoint....

I have one of these on the 22 and one awaiting mounting on the SKS.

Buy Tactical 4-Reticle Green/Red Dot Sight Rifle Scope Gun Mount (1 x CR2032)

So far it is working out ,and if you don't like that one there are plenty more to choose.

For bang for buck I really like the little bushnall, I think it's called t25?

Around a $100 delivered from optics planet or the like

Got a SPARC (vortex) on mine good!

Don't go too cheap. The workings of the SKS auction tends to bump scopes and destroy cheap trash quickly. Put an SKS recoil buffer in also. SLRs and FN FALs are also terrible for this with a bigger .308 version of the same tilting block action. My SLR ruined a number of middle range scopes before I got a buffer and a decent scope. Keen to try out a Vortex, people seem to rave about them.

Thanks for the advise guys - the Bushnell looks pretty good.
Had not heard of the Vortex so will also look into that.

cheers

lucid HD7 has some decent reviews.

not a red dot but im putting tech sights on mine

I did what everyone else recommends not to: fitted a cheapo reflex sight, on top of a scoutscopes.com mount, replacing the rear sight. All of about $25 from China. Holding up fine so far.
