Having heard, read, and seen the discovery of so may Yugo "sniper" rifles, I decided to add a sidemount to one of my Yugo SKSs. I purchased a Russian 4 x 24 side mount designed specifically for the SKS and the 7.62 x 39 round. The scope was delivered to my door from St. Petersburg Russia complete with a case, eyepiece, mounting bar, and manual for $120. It's got a lighted retical and has a range finder scale on the bottom. You can see them here: www.kalinkaoptics.com
The Yugo was an $89 Aim special that is all matching. I didn't want to damage the original stock, so I purchased a replacement from AIM for $12, cut and altered it to clear the hardware, and refinished it. Here's the result.
The Yugo SKS was used as a sniper but no arsenals created them. They were done in the field by the owners and there are many Yugos out there with holes drilled and tapped in the left side of the stocks just for a mounting bar.
If you'd like to see some authentic Yugo snipers, go here:

Here's my rendition. BTW, the laser bore sighter tells me this rifle in perfect right off the bench! I can't wait to get it to the range.
