Choosing rail and rings for Saiga 7.62x39 sporting rifle
It seems UTG 5th Gen Quick Detachable Double Rail AK Side Mount(MNT-978) is pretty good for its price. What kind of ring should I use?
AccuShot Premium 1-Inch Weaver Style See-Thru Medium Profile Rings
AccuShot Premium 1-Inch Weaver Style See-Thru High-Pro Rings
With which combination can I use iron sight without removing the scope? What's the difference between medium and high? Someone told me it's better to mount the scope higher on the ak, or ar. I don't remember exactly. Or it doesn't make much difference as long as the scope fits there. From the pics I saw a medium profile mount should give enough clearance to mount most scopes on a saiga.
Is there any advantage by using high profile rings? If it's too high I might have to take the scope off to fit into my rifle case.
I am still searching for a scope, any recommendations for a scope under $50? I am new to guns, do some deer hunting. I just want to get a scope and practice, maybe invest more after I become comfortable with scope.
Thanks.
