I just placed an order on the NcStar 2-7x32. I also found a picture that shows the best way to set up the 11" scope on my mount. I figured that even if it was lousy it would still be better than iron sights... and enough people report very good luck with it. And if it really sucked, all...

lol, you got it quite right. I have 5' mesh cross-fencing before my back field and my land dips and rises again. If they cross the fence the goats are coyote-meat, so I have to get them on that side. From the back porch I am high enough to shoot over the fence, but 300m. If I approach them...

Thank you, you helped me avoid buying the 'wrong thing'.

My grouping is pretty good at 100m. My need for a scope is so that I can see what I am shooting at :) Like the lines on the target and the bullet-holes. For that I need 'some' magnification even if it is a cheap Chinese scope. Thanks, z

Thank you guys, you got me thinking in the right direction. I'll 'designate' my SKS for under-100m hunting and range practice. I've been convinced that 300m coyote shots are the job for a better rifle. So I ordered a 6" SKS scout mount from scoutscopes.com that fits over the rear sight and...

My vision isn't great and I am considering accessories to help with it, especially at night. For context, I am looking at stuff around $100 to place on an SKS using a scout mount from scoutscopes.com (goes in the position of the rear iron sight and forward). - What is the range of a laser...

Any other recommendations? From my research I found a 2.5x scout scope from Leupold, but that's probably too much money to put on an SKS. Isn't there a decent scout scope out there that is reasonably short and has some magnification for under or around $100.00?

After much research I decided to get the mount from scoutscopes.com that replaces the rear sight (seems solid/stable, causes no damage, does not inerfere with cleaning). The next step is to choose a scope for it. The ideal scope for me will be: - Appropriate eye relief for use with that...

Don't want to beat a dead horse, but I posted the wrong link for the scout mount I was considering. The one that I meant to attach is http://www.scoutscopes.com/. Looking at the pictures in the review (http://www.surplusrifle.com/reviews2005/sksscoutscopemnt/index.asp) it looks like it...

Thanks guys, your input helped a lot. I was initially thinking of using a front or rear rail-mount system from http://www.tickbitesupply.com/sks.html (and a scout scope) but after reading your comments I noticed either will interfere with cleaning and loose the zero. I also saw (somewhere) a...

I am still fairly ignorant about scopes. I need to buy one for my SKS and after hours of googling I am even more weary about buying the wrong one than when I started. Could I get some recommendations on 'what kind' to look for, and maybe even which brands/models are desirable and which I...
