I've seen a lot of bad ideas when it comes to putting a scope on a SKS. Most are replacement covers that limit the scope you can use. I've found a Millett base that seems to be a good answer to mounting a scope.
The base replaces the rear sight leaf and spring. No holes or cutting is needed to mount the base. I went with a Millett SP1 scope. The base uses weaver mounts of any size so you have a lot of scopes you could use. So far I have about 70 rounds thru the gun sighting it in and testing. So far no problems. The scope is far enough forward that there has been no problems with cases being ejected or reloading. I may add a something to the stock to help with cheek weld for a short rifle match coming up. I'll post more as rounds go down range and I get a better idea of how well this really work. So far my first impression is this is a winner.
