One of them is dead on accurate and dependable.


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.
