SKSs aren't precision instruments, but bad eyes are bad eyes. One of the more recent "fixes", preferly done on a shooter vs collector unit, is to tap the previously "not-such-a-good-idea" reciever cover, while in place, with a 1/4X20 and secure with a #8 bolt cut to fit. Tap through the reciever and cover at the same time, while the cover is installed. Fixed 1.5 to 4 power is best for the range and ballistics. PAX
