Sighting in the cheap SKS scope.

I will be hog hunting next weekend.
Survival food.

Sorry to say, but it'll never hold zero being that its mounted on the cover like that. Been there done it. You need one of the side mounts that attatch to the stock and sit over the top of the cover. Then you can use a cheap scope if need be. It all starts with a solid proper mount. A $1000 scope mounted on the cover wouldnt make any difference.

On another note, nice looking sks!

Not a good way to mount a scope on an sks for multiple reasons , plus the triggers leave a lot to desire for even using a scope. If you could upgrade the iron sights reliably I would do that.
Soviet bloc weapons are notoriously poor for solid scope mounts without being ridiculously high over the bore.

Good luck none the less , happy hunting!

Be better off using the iron sights. Pretty accurate out to 200 yards.

I never use sights and I use my hand for "Kentucky Windage" elevation instead of log or tree limb.

I always fire after pause of breath .....

wrong site ur looking for a cowboy militants site

I plan to try this next if needed.

As others have said, the SKS is "minute of man" out to about 150 yards. The receiver cover isn't stable and, after two or three rounds down range, is going to seriously impact the zero you worked to hard to establish. A "cowboy" mount, next to impossible to find, is really the only solid mount out there unless you try to jury rig something and end up butchering the stock on your rifle to mount it.

Regardless, best of luck with your hunting. Keep us posted.

I would sell the SKS to buy something more modern before I would alter it. Want to leave it original as possible.

I draw small circles about the size of a quarter when I sight in a scope...

When dad used to bring home a deer, mom would always ask for the heart...I don't eat organs, but mom rarely got one worth cooking because it always come out shredded...dad's 80 and still a damn good shot...never saw him use a scope, but I don't have his eyes...

Here's all the rifle you'll ever need, but they went cheap on the scope...always spend twice on your optics than you do the rifle...

This shows why nobody needs an AR-15, SKS, AK -- similar semi-automatics

they have no true sporting purpose

if you want to hunt, use a bolt-action rifle

The open sights are fine with me but I can’t see them when it’s dark. That’s when the hogs are out.

You are misinformed and speak lies.

Dude/dudette seriously ?

The second amendment has nothing to do with hunting, our rights do not revolve around “sporting purposes “ it is about our ability to rise up and crush a totalitarian government

The AR-15 is specifically designed for mounting a scope and drilling prairie dogs at 500 yards is child’s play


Anyways you should be throughly beaten for your ignorance

Wild Edibles

You going to be hunting hogs, I can recommend this knife or something similar to it. Anything that has the Hook on it.
AJC Guardian Angle™ Roofing Knife you can find some fairly cheap under 20 bucks.

You'll be slicing through a Hogs skin like butter. If you have cleaned Hogs before, you know the mess and the skin is tougher than a bus stations steak.

Ya, I could only afford the cheapest scope on Amazon.
No way I can get this.

No help.

Thanks, I hope I will be needing this. We have tons of hogs.

A good neck shot always preserves the organs.

So because the receiver cover on an SKS is a bad place to mount a scope all modern semi-automatics are bad?

Stop taking retard pills.

bore axis is way off. cant have a scope that high off the barrel and have it zeroed for more then one range.

What about competitive shooting. Cant run in a 3 gun competition without an AR. Troll, you know the reason weapons are allowed by the second amendment is to kill bad people.....sometimes lots of bad people.

It’s called ZEROING your OPTIC, not sighting in your sight you fucking amateurs.....

Why on God's green earth would even want a cheap scope? Certainly not to depend your life on.

Amateur is correct, I said in the video that had not done this in 30 years.

What is “one range” .

We all don’t have $1000 to spend on a scope just for killin hogs.
The oilfield is down right now. Money is tight and there are lots of hogs running around at night.
Can’t see iron sights in the dark.
