red dot for saiga 7.62

[blackcoc]

I looking for a red dot for my Saiga and are there any red dot that will co witness with my iron sight?

Have you installed a mount? Most of the side mounts on an AK style rifle will block the factory iron sight before even adding an optic. There may be one out there, but AKs and red dots usually don't mix. AKs aren't very tacticool.

Micro on an ultimak, or something like the PK-A for the side rail.

Not sure if it cowitnesses but the RS micro mount is pretty sweet

I'm using an ultimak mount on my converted Saiga. Bad pic but this more or less:

See above for the ideal CA legal AK configuration. I like it.

I have two PK-A Venezuelan red dots on AK's... The best thing since sliced bread.



They mount low, and give a 1/3 co-witness... 3,600 hour battery life, and they are centered in line over the bore...

I have recently gone through a little debacle with finding a mount and RDS combo I could co-witness with my irons on a Saiga .223. First off, no matter how low the mount, the Vortex SPARC will not co-witness. The LED emitter is at 6:00, thus blocking the irons. Most I've seen use an Ultimak and Aimpoint Micro combination. After researching the crap out of the possible solutions, I decided on setting aside the Midwest Industries Side Rail and trying out the Attero Arms mount with a PA Micro Dot. Other solutions include mounts from Ultimak (works with most RDS), Midwest Industries (no co-witness with SPARC, okay co-witness with Primary Arms), RS (don't know too much about it), Kalinka (mostly good co-witnes from what I've read, but may be optic specific), Strike Industries (not much heard about their mounts), Attero Arms (will test and report), Texas Weapon Systems (good, but expensive), Krebs (expensive, but good), and Damage Industries (same as Strike Industries; not much heard). I think that covers it.

Lastly, I also recall that a 30mm red dot on the Midwest Industries 30mm side mount works, but only read that in one or two places. No promises.

That PK-A looks awesome. But heavy. 20 oz really isn't that terrible, though. What's up with the tubes on the side? One is for the batteries, is the other a hinge? How many AAs?
