Its a vicious circle. The gas tube mounts dont hold zero either, that gas tube gets HOT when you fire the gun which will affect the zero of any scope that is attached to it. Short of drilling and tapping into the side of the receiver, there really isnt any good way to scope an SKS. Even if you pay a 'smith to drill and tap a mount, the position of the scope will prevent you from using stripper clips to load the rifle, and the bottom of the scope will take a beating from the ejected brass. Its a frustrating problem.</p></blockquote><p></p>
