scout mount and BSA

modificationvt · 06-16-2008, 06:42 PM

So the scout mount I ordered FINALY got here (dont pay for the fast shipping) and it was easy to instal. the instriuctions included are nice and simple.

this is my first scope set up, so feel free to give me any tips on zeroing.

^You did buy the right one after all. That's good. I thought it was the one I bought. I think they're identical except for the rail mount it seems. Good buy though! I'm gonna look into it myself now. Can you link me up to the specific red dot? I can send mine back and exchange it for that one.

22124 - 30mm Red Dot Sight, 5 MOA, Black Matte, Warranty - Manufactured by: BSA

I was pleasently surprised to see it fit, now I just have to get my ass to the range.

Hmmmmm, have a rifle rest ? Makes it easier.

modificationvt · 06-16-2008, 08:10 PM

the range I go to has one.
what Ive read to do for zeroing is to have it in a rest, and fire 3 shots, and adjust as needed to get the dot into where the 3 shots landed and keep doing that until you can point the dot on center and get some shots on center

Ok that's just weird. That is the same thing I bought....but it isn't. Its the same item number, but mine is different......that so sucks. I'll just send it back and order a different one I guess...first time they've ever done something like that that I know of.

modificationvt · 06-16-2008, 09:27 PM

thats wiered, Id say give them a call, CHD customer service is good.

jmp8927 · 06-16-2008, 09:48 PM

I figured out which one they sent me rather than what I was supposed to get. It actually costs $2 more, but it doesn't do me any good because I can't use it. So, I sent them an email since its past business hours now. I'll hear back from them tomorrow and hopefully since the made a mistake I can get the right one and only have to pay shipping charges to return the one I have.

took it to the range today, and got it zeroed in at close range, and then just f*cked around with it hitting cans and such. but with 100+ rounds threw it it still held zero. for less than $100 I am very happy with this set up.

So I have just gotten back from the range and I am pleased to report that the BSA red dot on the scout mount held Zero even after removing it for cleaning!! I pulled out my SKS at the range and first shot was 75 yards and I hit a 3" clay! My over all review is this is a great product and I recommend it for anyone wanting to put a scope or red dot on an sks!

i'm not really a fan of the sk but that is beautiful.
i'm getting a scout for my ak.
i like that set up
