RE: Scopes
Full length scopes will get hit by the ejected cases, since they are ejected almost straight up. That's why you pretty much have to use a compact or none at all. I've seen 6X compacts marketed for the SKS, but that's as high as I've seen.

RE: Scopes
I'm thinking about getting a 3-9x in a VERY compact model, there's one at a shooting sports store near me, for only like $45. I think that most people use 4x's is because they are the most widely made compacts, and the sks isn't accurate enough to need more than that. MY BIGGEST QUALM WITH A HIGH POWER SCOPE ON MY SKS IS THAT THE MUZZLE HOP IS SO GREAT, THAT RESIGHTING WOULD BE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE WITH MORE MAGNIFICATION THAN 4X.

RE: Scopes
Not only do the longer scope tubes get hit by ejected cases, they block the stripper-clip slot, making you have to put one round at a time into the magazine while trying to keep the bolt from slamming shut!!
