I have 2 SKS. One of them is dead on accurate and dependable. Wouldn’t trade or sell it for anything.

My experience with a number of SKS rifles is that they are quite accurate, but the problem is there relatively poor open sights. If you have superb eyes, the SKS sights are ok.

But peep sights are intrinsicly easier to use and more accurate because of a longer sighting radius.

The SKS is not a great rifle for scope mounting. But if you can mount a scope on an SKS, they do very well.

The problem is the dust/receiver cover of the SKS should be taken off for cleaning, and that usually means taking off the scope and remounting it.

An excellent rifle for the price, I consider it a very good militia rifle.

I have only one but it is incredibly accurate out to 100 yards, farther than than that I get out the old Mosin-Nagant which I can trust out to 1000 yards. I think if I needed to do sniper work I would use the Mosin-Nagant, I'm surprised more don't use it for that, they can really reach out. The old guns look like old guns but then again they do the job.

When I first got the SKS ammo was $.05 per round, today if I can find it for under 10 times that I feel fortunate.
