Anybody ever try this on a Saiga AK? Looking for something for the 50-200yd distance range. Thanks.

I have not tried this sight on an AK, but I can tell you that on my .223 it has been put through its paces and I haven't had to adjust it yet. As far as the yardage you're asking for, at 200 yds the dot is going to cover a good bit of the target. Depending in what your target is. Silhouette targets would do fine I'm sure, but this isn't a magnified sight. It comes with a 1x magnification attachment that is pretty much useless to me, you may find it helpful when shooting longer ranges. I have used the magnifier at 100-150 yds and it may help some, but it chokes the field of view down a lot. Hope this helps! This is a very nice sight for the money. I actually have it mounted on my patrol rifle. I have not tried this sight on an AK, but I can tell you that on my .223 it has been put through its paces and I haven't had to adjust it yet.

I had mine on my Polish Ak 74 for a while, once it was dialed in it was money.

I used this on my Saiga Arsenal AK47. Holds a zero quite well. You have am airsoft rifle. If your leaf rear sight can be removed and the rear sight base is made of strong metal and not the cheap compressed metal flakes. I had to file and sand it for clearance at the stock screw area. So yes, it will fit.

I installed on an AR10 .308. So far I've put 200+ through the gun, and its holding great. I love it. I have it zero'd at 200yds, and have shot accurate to 500.

All I can say is it might. I am not an AK guy. Most of my experience is in building AR, M1A, Rem 700 and Mossy 500 weapons. It looks like you need to get almost down onto the rail with you Aimpoint to absolute cowitness your front sight. I use Vortex Strikefires myself and to me they perform as well as Aimpoint. I use them on Mossy 500s and they hold up under 3" magnum fire that actually broke an A.R.M.S. QD mount. Anyway, they are not very expensive and they are great rings. I have some on my Rem 700 Varmint .308. Try one and see.

Didn't work out for me at all. The mounts on that air rifle was very poor. The scope may work better on a deferent rifle. The scope is not much. But it does not cost much. Don't expect much. You should get a better scope.

I put one of these on my Yugo pap AK and it blew off the end of the barrel with the sixth shot. Mine may have been slightly bent from the factory. I am just telling you what happened with the muzzle brake that I purchased. Good luck, and for God's sake be careful if you purchase this muzzle brake.

Hi The weather got too cold for us to try it out. I think the distance would pertain to your shooting abilities. We will not have it any closer than 25 yards. I hope this helps you. Have a nice day.

While I know the 5.56 magpul is a perfect fit on most ak mags. The new magpul ak mag im not sure. Honestly ive seen these magpuls stretched over the base of pmags as well worth a shot for $10 though

I use it on a .308 and have it on a picatinny rail system so I can remove it. After over 200 rounds, multiple removals, storage, transport, and various bumps it still holds true. It really depends which .50 bmg you put it on. If a Barret it should be fine. With others I don't know. As for adjustment it has a lot. Will it compensate for drop at 2000 m? Probably not. 1000m? Definitely.

do you have a good mount? mine works well on my ar but a shotgun hits a little harder. I don't think you'll have a problem with it.

I can say that it has handled all of the recoil of my Saiga 12 which is a semi auto and therefore has less recoil than standard pump action. My Saiga's felt recoil a little more recoil than my AR. I couldn't say for sure how it would hold up to a pump or bolt action shotgun especially with high brass rounds.

HEY! the sks really isn't made for a scope in the first place I don think. I mounted this to my Chinese sks and it was easy just slight filing, but everything else was a pain. moved on me almost every shot. The bolt hits that receiver pretty hard so I think that was throwing it off. I had the thing tight and secure and went through a lot of ammo because of it.

yeah I think you would be good you just need a quality mount. if you go cheap with the mount like me mine is forward mounted " scout scope" on a cheap quad rail on my ak and no issues with losing zero yet.but any other way I would spend the money on a good mount.

I witness with the matech and a Troy hk front. I use a red dot on with a hi tug ring on a 1/2" riser and get a lower 1/3 Caithness. Never take my red dot off and have used the irons out to 400 yds. I just turn off the red dot for distance shots. Use this set up in 3 Gun matches. Works well and the MaTech is great. Jack

I'm thinking it probably will hold just fine for a AK round. But, I wouldn't bet so on a higher recoil cartridge. It's holding up rather well on my AR pieces (rifle / pistol). Hadn't had to re-zero as of yet. The sight is a good value for the dollar when a EoTech 512 is not in the budget.

I mounted it on my RIA 1911, and It handled d recoil just fine. Not 100% sure but I think it can handle your AK. The quick release mount is pretty solid.
