Buy with confidence from Atlantic. I got a turd from TGI and Atlantic went the extra mile to make sure TGI did right.
Yeah, I completely understand. I thought about putting an Aimpoint or similar thing on mine, but I shoot at the range a lot and liked the magnification. I'm hoping to try to get some good accuracy out of the rifle for grins with good ammo, so that should be helpful.
The years of battery life is really awesome. Not sure how long the batteries in the leatherwood will last or what kind are in the Aimpoint. The leatherwood has an etched reticle, so when I'm in the woods and such I usually turn off the red dot.
One of the only reasons I chose it was the reticle-its nice and fast. Don't know if you've seen it, but its got a circle with a nice accurate 1MOA dot in the center. (Its really weird...its a nice simple reticle but there are very few scopes that have this with a 1MOA dot.) The glass is ok, its not a Leupold or anything but for $350 its no slouch. Plus you can shoot with both eyes open on 1x if that is important to the buyer.
There is only the one reticle option. I can't shoot past 300 yards at any range near me, but yeah does seem helpful.Definitely understand the desire to get some accuracy out of these guns. People at the range thought it was crazy that I was getting 1 MOA targets from my $80 mosin
I think the Aimpoint uses AA or AAA batteries, but I'm not positive. Even if it uses 123As, I've gota have them for my light anyway, so might as well use them too. But with one of them getting 8 years to the battery, I might just leave the thing on while in storage to have it immediately ready to go and just replace it at every pres election.
I saw that reticle and it does look pretty nice. It looks almost like a EOTech type reticle which is honestly my favorite, but 8 years of battery life is just too much to give up for one more circle I like the hold over lines on one of the reticle options though. I'm sure it would be helpful for anything over 300 yards where the 7.62x39 starts to get a bit loopy in its trajectory.

8 years of battery life is fantastic though, you can't get rid of that. Plus Aimpoints will take anything you throw them at
What kind do you have?
Ehmm...buddy not sure what you're talking about. I haven't seen WASRs with a side mounted scope rail or bayonet, and I would check your facts on the century putting them together issue.i would recommend looking at the wasr 10/63, as these come in as a true ak variant, correct ak furniture slant cut brake w/threads/cleaning rod/bayonet lug/side mount scope rail/chrome lined barrel/comes with the bayonet/ and these are from the cugir factory not put together by cai, well maybe the tapco trigger which is a plus, the 10/63s has an updated front trunion with added contact support for the bolt carrier, these are made from demilled military rifles which makes quality much better for these models, info got of the net, and plus i have 3 romanian variants all from cugir factory. you get all of these for $449 cant really go wrong, and will be getting one myself.
If you want a milled receiver...which is heavier than a stamped one. Not all people want that.budget=SAR-1
the best=ARSENAL SAM-7
