Saw what looks to be the best idea for mounting a long eye relief scope permanently on an SKS, by taking off the rear sight. Made by Scout Scope Mounts.
Has anyone ever seen this system, and know where I could get one in Alberta?
The Scout mount replaces the rear sight, uses the mounting stud which the rear sight sits on, and clamps around the receiver. It never comes off.
What you have there is something that straddles the action apparently, but is sitting on the rear cover which is detachable from the receiver. Every time you strip the gun to clean it, you re sight the gun.
The Scout Mount can only use a long eye relief scope, like a pistol scope. That is its downfall.
I use this one and find it works pretty good. It's not in AB but I didn't have any luck finding one until I found these guys. It's about 2/3 down the page called SKS Scout mount. http://www.bctactical.ca/products.html
