Same mount I put on mine. I had found a Smith & Wesson handgun scope a while back and the eye relief is close enough. In my opinion, the rail attachment of the mount should let you "return to zero" when you pull the scope to clean the gas tube... at least within the consistency of the ammo. BTW, Scout Scope has longer rails... you might need to get one to have the eyepiece of the scope get out of the way of ejecting cases (unless you use a red dot or similar).This has a scout scope mount so it's optics ready if I want to go that way.
Got mine "on paper" at 25 yards about 2 weeks ago. The scope was mounted about a year before that. Probably another year to zero at 100. Can't rush these things...At the rate I've been going, range report in 20-30 weeks.
woahNice rifle...you will not be disappointed....
I was watching a Norinco, but it went for more than I would pay.....crazy..

Because I desperately wanted something for my collection, I've paid three times what something was worth. I can understand how the desire for something rare can cause people to spend more money.woah
I like Norincos, but that is ridiculous.But am I the only one who thinks this is ridiculous? Or do I just not appreciate Norincos?

I'm not sure of that. I think it's possible that CDNN has simply discovered that auctions make some people go nuts.Something weird is going on with CDNN auctions.
Well, with major thanks to majormadmax for the lead, I brought home a Norinco today in a fiberglass "jungle stock". This has a scout scope mount so it's optics ready if I want to go that way. Otherwise I'll put the original rear sight on. The seller threw in an extra magazine, a couple of extra spike bayonets and the wood furniture.
I am not sorry I went this route, it will be a great shooter.
I have some Czech BXN stripper clips coming from eBay. Now just need a case of ammo and I'm ready to roll.
I've wanted an SKS for maybe 20 years. Took me longer than I wanted and probably more money, but I have finally arrived in the Combloc club.
A big thank you to everyone who shared advice.

Close up of the scout scope mount and ribbed handguard.
I'll try to snag some more detailed pictures tomorrow. Ran out of light this afternoon.
