SKS Redux

A loyal reader read about the problems I was having with my red dot on my SKS and donated one of his red dot scopes. Thanks to him, I now have a high quality red dot on my SKS. I haven’t been able to get out to the range yet, but I plan to go out this Friday and get it sighted in. At the same time I plan on testing the new vertical compensator on my Ruger 22/45 and make sure the POI hasn’t shifted. The red dot is a Walther Top Point II, and according to the manual, is able to handle the recoil of a full sized .357 Magnum, so I have no doubt it can handle an intermediate cartridge like the 7.62×39mm in a heavy SKS.

Well! It certainly looks better on your SKS than it did on my P22 with the idiotic cantilever mount that attached to the underbarrel rail. Made the pistol top heavy and very awkward. Dot moving all over the place.

Enjoy! You’re carrying on a long tradition of German optics on Russian hardware!
