Tech Sights

[rideandslidejim]

Anyone had any experience with adding the Tech Sight Aperature ( Peep ) Sight to there SKS ??? Heard they really improve accuracy without trying the scope crap !!!

Thanks Jim

Not on an SKS but it really improved the accuracy of my Ruger 10/22.

I put a Mojo on my VZ-2008. I'll post a report when work and weather line up and I can get to the range. If I like it I may use that instead of a Tech on one of my SKS's. IT was really easy to install and I don't have to bugger the rear housing latch.

ride and slide asked me a PM question and I thought I would post part of the reply to get some feedback.

I put the Mojo sight (easy to google) on a VZ-2008 the Czech AK. I would consider it roughly the same as an SKS in the type of sights and the sight distance.
I hope to get to the range sooner or later. The adjustable rear sight will help with the canted front sight.

The Tech sight looks like a great sight. I did my research and I think it would be superior to the Mojo because of the increase in sight distance
I had two minor problems with it:
1. It looks like you will destroy the bolt cover latch because you have to take it out. I can't see how to remove the little pin.
I would not like to mess up any part on the Chinese rifle.
2. I have also read that some rifles (specifically the Yugo) may need some stock modifications.
3. You have to remove the Tech sight to clean the rifle. I wonder if you will have troubles with maintaining zero.

According to Tech Sight, it maintans zero when removed and reinstalled for cleaning. If i do it, i will go with the Tech Sight. let me know how the range trip goes.

Thanks Jim

That's what is great about this forum. We have people that will try things out and then report. I prefer the rear aperture to the rear notch. I am looking forward to how the Tech sight works out.

Improved the accuracy = more range time. It is the person shooting. Judi and her Mosins

I'm sure the more you practice, the better you will get, even if you have no sights !!! I am discussing the pros and cons of different hardware. But i appreciate your non-helpful input.

Update:
The Mojo isn't working. It sits high and bounces up and down. It seems to be installed right. I have checked on some other forums and heard the same problem. It snapped in OK but the rear of the sight it sits about 3/16 ths of an inch above the base. It just bounces up and down when I fire the rifle. I'll remove and reinstall and hope for the best. Anyone have any helpful information?

Just realized I didn't start this thread. Sorry for the highjack, I'll start a new thread for this question
