Sighting Solution...non lever.
I shoot with the kids quite a bit. They like to rip it up with the AK's lately, so I drug mine out too. I've always liked the AK. They shoot pretty good, but the sights don't get easier with age.
I found this mount from Attero Arms. Easy to install, no permanent modification, and it still has an iron sight. It is made for many micro dots. I chose a Trijicon RMR because it is so compact, light, and low.
Took it out and zeroed it Friday. Works slick as snot.

Yep - I switched to reflex sights many 18 years ago, when Tasco came out with the Optima 2000.
Last year, I even put one ( a $25 Weaver) on my 1914 Savage 1988H .303 (heresy, I know)
It's certainly not stylish, but as you said, it works as slick as a green snake on game.

Re: Sighting Solution...non lever.
Cool setup Pete. I have several on other firearms and like them. I am going to get a couple of the Turnbull dovetail mounts to run a Fastfire on a couple of my old Winchesters.

Re: Sighting Solution...non lever.
Once again...you get ALL of the neat stuff!! What the heck does it attach to.....no d & t? Is it tight on the gun?
Never owned an ak but have had several sks's...and still do. I bought this scope mount for an sks.....nothing more than replacing the rear cover and got much more worse groups with the scope as this cover rattles around. I mean like 8" groups compared to 2-3" women the open sights. Made me wonder how yours works out.
That reminds me, I must have 4-5 thousand rounds all sealed up in those sardine cans...
I ain't gettin' any younger so I might as well burn a few barrels up.----6

Re: Sighting Solution...non lever.
Reflex sights usually attach to some sort of base, that's added to the long/short gun - the bases for pistol slides are flat, many others clamp onto a Weaver-type dovetail base.
Some reflex sights have the clamp integral with their underside; others are flat to attach to any number of different bases - it all depends on the reflex sight maker.

Hey Six,
It's easy peasy. Seems to hold really well on my rifle. I bump fired a couple mags to see.
I'm sure if you threw the rifle off a building it would move but it seems solid as all get out on mine.

Re: Sighting Solution...non lever.
No problem bud. I look at all kinds of kooky stuff from playing with scout rifles.

Re: Sighting Solution...non lever.
I really like the Burris Fastfire-II's I have on a couple levergun. Fast to use, and the auto-adjusting dot will go from bright enough for direct sunlight to VERY dim - enough so that they function in total darkness with just a flashlight pointed at the target. Most red dots are way too bright for low-light use, even the manually adjusting ones.
Really compact, too.

Re: Sighting Solution...non lever.
I have a FF3 that I like and have used on a lever. The above RMR on my AK has an auto adjust feature that works extremely well also.
The only thing I don't care for with the FF3 is that it doesn't use CR2032 batteries. All my other red dots do. The Burris is the "oddball"

Re: Sighting Solution...non lever.
Put the same type of sight on my Anderson AR15 last year. I like it, and having 4 different apertures, plus brightness control is a big plus for various situations.

Re: Sighting Solution...non lever.
Haha not even close, bro. I think I have 2 half 94 38-55 SRC's. One TD 92 rifle in 38wcf, one 89 Marlin 2/3 rifle in 38wcf, a 92 2/3 carbine in 38wcf and a 94 2/3 carbine in 30wcf.
Pretty sure thats it.
They did sell a lot of em up here though.

Re: Sighting Solution...non lever.
Cool beans Jay, I have a red dot on my AR at the moment and love how fast follow up shots are, that is if I don`t forget and leave it on and the battery is dead.

Thanks buddy.
I have an Aimpoint T1 in a Larue QD mount on my Colt 6920.
Have an Aimpoint H1 in a Primary Arms mount on my home built .300BO.

Re: Sighting Solution...non lever.
PillHer's SKS has one of those rear covers with scope mount. It is plenty snug, and with a cheap little scope on it gives better accuracy than the ammunition is capable of giving. I got some Norma brass and some .311 sized 125 grain JSP bullets and it gives almost 1 MOA accuracy using WLR primers and 31 grains of H335. That load should be close to 2400 fps and maximum pressure. I keep it reserved for hunting now. Components are not as easy and cheap as the Russian made junk, but way more accurate.

Re: Sighting Solution...non lever.
The easiest AK mount I have is the http://ultimak.com/BuyAK.htm Ultimax gas tube got one mounted on my AK Pistol.
It is not the critic who counts
Re: Sighting Solution...non lever.
Ultimak's are some quality stuff. I have one on my M1A Scout and one for an M1 carbine.
