If you want a reliable scope and mount solution you have two options:
1. Give up on it and run it with iron sights.
2. Write a letter to Mother Russia and ask please bygolly please design an AK with a solid railed receiver top.
Having owned about a dozen different AK's and spent near $1000 on different mounts thats the best answer I have. My standards are high. If I am going to scope it I want to be able to have it bang around in the truck through a pasture without moving. I want to be able to clean the gun without messing with the scope. I don't want it to be so high that I need a step ladder or a tribal neck extension kit to use it. Thats the way I see it.
