Non-Political Gun Talk (On topic)

Its a Tasco 4X with illuminated reticle. Cheap scope I had laying around. Its mounted on rings welded to the receiver cover. Nothing fancy but makes a big difference in hitting targets in reasonable range for that rifle.

Was reading about scope mounts for an sks general consensus was they won't stay zeroed but these weren't welded

Yeah I've been a couple of times
It's a blast go thru a buttload of ammo

That's awesome man! Have fun! I'm jealous!

It will usually lose zero when I remove the cover to clean it but still stays close enough to quickly zero it again, then will keep zeroed until I finish shooting.

Why do people find the need to sporterize (spelling? Lol) m1 garands and k98's. Oh my God that literally makes me want to puke

What scope is that

Going on a prairie dog hunt in a couple weeks like to put a scope on my sks and take it along just for sheets and giggles

I have a Red Star on one of mine.

Can't say I've ever seen a sporterized M1.

k98's used to be cheap and readily available. Strong action that was easily sporterized and there didn't used to be as much collector interest. I don't think many Garands were sporterized. About the only changes I can think of is turning them into fake jungle carbines or sniper models.

I have a Springfield 03A3 some idiot butchered in a half assed attempt to sporterize. One of these days I will get a new stock to return it to almost original condition. I picked it up cheap and for now it is just to occasionally shoot for fun.

Are you able to keep it zeroed

 

[1BROWNWRENCH]

Not sure yet. Haven't been out since the first time when the screws kept loosening. Got them all down with red Loctite now.

My scope is mounted lower than yours.

It allows you to still use the iron sights if needed. It has a locking lever that holds it to the rail built into the receiver cover.

I have see through sights on one rifle but prefer the scope to be lower if possible. Makes zeroing and range adjustment a lot easier.

Multiple videos on YouTube about SKS trigger jobs. Still leery of trying it. My Machinist Dad may have a few thoughts on the subject.

I wouldn't mess with the trigger. Mine isn't bad for a typical 2 stage military trigger, plus SKS's have a floating firing pin that might accidentally discharge (if dropped but I wouldn't want to combine that with an iffy trigger).

Not as fancy but I do have a 75th anniversary Savage 1895 in .308.
