Most Accurate SKS Scope Mount(18/12/2014)
It was emotionally difficult to drill and tap the receiver because it's an irreversible change, but was easy to actually do. A drill press is a must.
This firmly attaches the scope to the gun and has better accuracy than the multitude of other options I've tried.
4 stars instead of 5 because the casting is somewhat rough, but it doesn't affect function.
Only practical alternative I found(23/02/2015)
Requires a bit of effort and measurements to install, but provides a very steady and practical rail. Be careful not to cover any part of the serial number or importer name. and be aware that you probably will have to trim a slice of the stock. SKSs have very hard receivers, so get a couple of extra high quality bids before starting, to avoid frustrations.
Best SKS mount Iâve found (30/12/2017)
This is the best and most solid scope mount I have found for the Sks rifle. I have two Soviet Sks rifles so one of them will be getting this mount installed on it. The casting is a little rough but everything lines up perfect so far. Will let you know how it performs but I imagine I will have good results as there wonât be any rattle to worry about as it will become part of the rifle. Plus, Brownells is one of the few companies that ships to Canada. Even with delivery (no duty on items under $100) it was cheaper than buying it over here. Thank you Brownells for sending a quality product.
