I've got a SAR-1 with one of those scope mounts on the left side of the receiver. What kind of scope can I put on it? Where can I buy them? About how much are we talking about?

I've never really given serious thought to a scope on my AK but I wouldn't mind the information. Maybe it'll wet my appetite.

I was thinking about getting a scope for my ak too.  I found this scope, and it looks pretty nice, it's four power and has an illuminated reticle.  You can also apparantly use the iron sights without removing the scope.

That scope may suit you too.  Does anyone have any experience with it?

Wow, that's a really good find man! I'd like to get some feedback from people who own this scope...

Consider an UltiMAK mount with an optic. Full disclosure: I know Lyle, owner of UltiMAK.

The scope is a good scope, the company is not.  Bad news from the reviews I have heard over a couple of years.

Other companies with better reps:

NightVisionWeb

Cdnn Investments  This scope takes a AA battery.

CenterFire Systems

My only dealing with them went well. I traded emails with a guy one night like we were on AIM, and placed an order. Got it (a mount for a NV scope) like 4 days later I think.

I dont know exactly what problems people have had, but I too have read some warnings.
