Good Scope for around $150

[ultide111]

I have an SKS that has the original stock on it. Im looking to put a scope on it for about $150. Any recommendations?

Good scope will cost you more than 150 bucks. What you can get in that range is economical scope

Weaver v3. I have run two of them on AKs, ARs and a bolt carbine. Lots and lots of rounds. Never ever a problem. Read the reviews.

Depends on what you want to do with it, really. For an SKS, more than about 4x really is overkill, since it's about a 300 meter rifle, maybe out to 500, and I'm assuming you are shooting cheap surplus/wolf/tiger/tula/PPU ammo, so you aren't looking for tiny groups.

If you are handloading Norma brass or something weird, you might want more scope than that, but I really couldn't see why.

Also, for just a little bit more:

There is supposed to be a 7.62x39 version of this coming out fairly soon:

+1, the little Weaver is a rock solid reliable but light weight little scope that's perfect for the job.

Another vote for Nikon.

For a 1-6 power there is a decent BSA at Midway for $150. I have a BSA sweet 223 6-18 power on my 20". It's quite good for the money. I paid $54 for it at Natches.

Lol there is no such thing as a good BSA. Id get a decent redot for an sks if you want an optic. The Bushnell TRS25 is less than $100.

Actually, the BSA 1-6X24 from Midway is a pretty decent scope. The turrets a slightly mushy, but that's about the only negative thing I can say about it. The glass is really good, reticle is pretty decent and unlike a lot of the current crop of 1-6X scopes, the BSA will go down to a true 1X and will do it without curving the entire image into Walleye vision.

[MongooseV8]

It may be decent compared to a simmons, but its still a bottom tier optic.

[Jimi Jah]

Since the thread is about decent scopes for about $150, those BSA's fit the bill. The OP isn't looking for a $2000 scope.

I would get a bushnell elite used off the classifieds myself. I have a bushnell elite 3200 3-9 on a stevens model 200 .223 that is capable of shooting sub half moa groups, and I picked the scope up off clasiffieds here a few years ago for $140.
