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