First, I'd love to be able to buy a Russianicon SKS for the price you can get them for and wish you could ship me one. But that isn't likely to happen do to the mentioned laws.

As for scopes. It's something I've looked into but most of the contraptions they have aren't really workable. Most attach to the cover and the cover moves. If you can come up this a mount that attaches to the barrel or the receiver, you're a lot better off. There just isn't that much room on there. I have seen some receiver mounts that you need to drill and tap for. Only problem is to clean the rifle you have to take the scope or the mount off which is probably going to mean re-zeroing it at the start of every session.

I decided I don't need it to drive tacks. I have other rifles for that. Can't hunt with it in PA either, and again, I have other rifles for that. I hate to admit it but to me it's a toy that fires inexpensive ammo and goes BANG and looks impressive sitting there in the rack.

Unfortunately, I don't even know how mine shoots. I've had it for probably 6 months now and still haven't taken it to the range. Sacrilege I know.
