    Scout rifle scope

    I have an SKS that I'm thinking of making a scout rifle out of, I'm thinking of putting a Tapco 6 position telescoping stock and mounting a scope forword of the receiver.

    I've been hearing the term long eye relief scope but don't know the difference between a long eye relief scope and any other scope. Hopefully someone else does and can explain it to me.

    Also if someone might have a recommendation for a specific long eye releif scope in the $100 range.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    No scope advice for the $100 range

    If it is a play rifle, maybe a primary arms micro dot

    You might also trigger 922r with an SKS if you add a pistol grip and collapsible stock.
    Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED

    Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)

    Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET

    Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

      Handgun scopes have LER (long eye relief) and are commonly used as "scout scopes".
      Midwayusa.com- Pistol Scopes If you read the reviews you'll find many buyers are using them for scout rifles.

      There are scopes specifically designed for scout set-ups, but I don't think there are very many quality options in the $100 range.
