Hi all,
I have a Yugo 24/47 that i have a hard time shooting with the open iron sights. It shoots way high and left - better at 50yrds than at 100 yrds.
I am going to put an S&K scope mount on it. Its the kind that replace the rear sight so you don't have any permanent mods to the gun. But I now need to research what kind of scope I should get to go with it. I don't plan to hunt anything with it, looking at 50-200 yrd ranges, surplus ammo mostly. I can't see distance targets well (another reason for the scope) and would like something in the 4x to 6x (or higher?) range for fixed power or 3x-9x or 4x-12x for variable.
I have read elsewhere that in a pistol scope, the fixed power might be better for the large recoil of th 8mm? Not sure if that is true or not.
Can anyone recommend a scout-type or pistol scope that they have used in a similar set up? I don't mind spending a little on it - like a Burris, Bushnell, Nikon or something similar in a 200$ range.
Anything else I should look out for like eye relief distance, etc?
