Is it possible to use as a forwsrd sight, with 14" of eye relief? If not, what scope might work for AK-47 with the only mounting point 14" forward ?

With my purchase, this site didn't survive on a .22Lr so I would doubt it would survive on an AK at the business end. As to an alternative, I am not sure any red dot would be good at that eye relief, I haven't ever tried to mount something that far forward, maybe a laser would be a better choice at that point?

If you eyes are good yes I believe that this sight would work on an AK but I didn't think much of this sight and returned it to Amazon. I was the one and only product that I ever returned to Amazon.

I do not have any front sights on my weapon at this time. But to help i researched the product. http://www.vortexoptics.com/product/vortex-strikefire-red-dot-ring-extra-high-absolute-co-witnessThe site states absolute, and i think they assume an A2 front sight on most AR-15s. However, i would measure from the base of your rail up to 37mm, then see if it makes a straight line to the tip of the A2 sight? I did'nt shine in geometry class but I think that would be a good double check to make sure. Good luck man! BTW the scope is awesome!

I've only used it up to 50 yards. I can perfectly see the bullet holes perfectly. Try using some of those birchwood shoot n see targets. I used it for my ak74 which makes holes about the size of a .22. My guess is that you'll be ok if you use shoot n see targets

I do not think that it will work on the AK47s I am use to because the scope needs about 16 inches of flat real estate on top of the weapon. They advise keeping the scope as close to the bore as possible without using spacers and such. Even a flat top M4 has problems since the front of the scope interferes with the rail at that point. I believe that the scope was designed for bolt action rifles where the front of the scope would sit on the barrel past where the forestock ends. To install it on a typical AK-47 you would need to use the appropriate riser mount. Doing so may throw off the scope's accuracy. I hope that you find this information useful.

well also bought the mechanically fixed HiViz sights they work are are helpful. depending on if you have a rail or smooth barrel would decide the type but in either case the rail mount winds up being about 18" apart when targeted with a laser bore sighting tool. Its just slaps on but sighting is another store.

I first used a daisy scope I had on hand, but I could not get it moved far enough forward to be comfortable to use. I now have a daisy red dot sight that works much better. Since it is winter and I can not get to the range, I do not know how it shoots yet.

it has a really long eye relief, but if your mosin scope is mounted in front of the bolt thats a bit iffy. But there are options for mounting over the bolt in which case it should be more than fine

Sounds like u will from the other responses, sorry I can't help you out as I mounted my 3x9x40 scope on an AK.

i mounted it on a rhino mount connected to a ph helmet and it sat too far forward. even with the mounts rail set all the way rearward. because of this, you will never get a good sight picture and i am now considering buying the rifle mount and just mounting this monocular right behind an aimpoint pro. i am hesitant because im not sure it will co-witness.

I don't know as I never received to correct sights after 3 attempts. Amazon kept sending AK sights not AR-15 sights. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

This scope was mounted on a Marlin Model 336 in .30-30 and also on a Savage .308. The scope held zero just fine and would surely stand up to the mild recoil of an AR-style rifle/carbine.Eye relief is about 3.5". The rings that are supplied with the scope are fine, but I removed the rear sight of the Marlin .30-30 to provide enough room for the front bell.If your AR does not have a front sight, the scope will work; albeit, it is a full-length scope. If you have the standard M4 front sight, you might want to look for a different scope and quick-release mount.

I have used mine on a Remington 700-308, it worked perfect, also on a AK and at 120' which was the longest warehouse I have access toafter sighting in the scope and then taking it to the Range it was grouping a 2-1/2 circle at 100 yards, i could not have been more pleased with the purchase. I have since bought Bore sights in (6) different Calibers and have been happy with all of them.

Don't waste your money on this mount. Your scope WILL NOT be centered!!!! I have found the PRO Mag scope works fine on (over twenty) AKs I have owned and sold.

Yes, I use this for .223 at 100 yds on a white/ black silhouette. Haven't tried further but I'd guess with 20/20 vision could probably use this scope for out to 150 yds. Biggest problem is the short stand, I usually just hold it and stabilize my arms with the ground

I found the eye relief to be terrible for my natural cheek weld on my AR 15. I took it off and bought a new scope. I don't think you wouold have full field of vision at 2.5-3" of eye relief.

I have an AK-47 and I would not personally put this scope on it. It's a fun scope because of the functions it can perform but I think it would be best on a 308 or other type of long range shooting.. With that rifle look into a regular scope or one with with good optics. You might want to consider the pulsar N500 or 750 it's a night scope with digital recording

I tried with mine(Mosin Nagant) it eye peice is no seeable the eye piece is not long enough without having to lean over and forward quite a bit, now with that being said...I love this scope but its on my AR15, matter of fact I own two of these scopes...I hope this helps...
