Scope is OK very narrow when you zoom in. Mounting rings strip out easily when trying to lock it on the rails. Barska customer service was rude and would not send new rings without me having to pay for them. Not what I was expecting on an item that has a warranty. I had also bought a laser and other scopes at that time from them for about an additional $800.00 and it did not seem to matter. I do not believe I will buy from them again.

Using it on a 7.62 x 51 Ruger 762 with a quick acquisition sight mounted above. Without the additional QA sight it was an issue because the FOV is less than my eyes deal with quickly at less than 150 yds. Its clear, and so far has held up well. At high power setting, you can see a really, really long way.

This scope ranging from 10 to 40 power is far to powerful for whitetail deer. I would suggest something like a 3 to 9 power or less from my experience. I lost a number of deer by having a 4 to 12 power scope. I often left it on 12 power and then had a quick shot chance at a whitetail and could not find the deer in the scope. I would think that a 2 to 6 power would be perfect. Also, the BARSKA 10-40X50 I ordered was of very poor quality and I returned it.

I wouldn't buy this one, I actually returned mine and got a firefield for a better price

This scope is serious zoom power. I have it on a 270 remington 700. Use it to shoot long range. An average rifle shot at game here in new mexico is 2-400 yards. Even 5 and 600 sometimes. The scope is pretty overkill for anything closer than 200. That being said, it's am awesome scope!

I HAD this on my Savage 11VT. The build quality just is not there. I would recommend getting a high quality scope because you are going to be out one day and have a perfect shot on a buck and the scope will have lost its zero. It does not hold up to recoil well and I would not trust it on any gun with which accuracy is concern.

That gun does not seem to have any scope mounts, unless it is possilble to modify it yourself (which is unlikely) I would say no. Thanks for asking though, that gun looks pretty cool; I might get it.

I regularly see the SPARC mounted on AKs. Personally, I miunted mine on a 5.45, but it's a very well made optic and others have not reported failures on 7.62 platform.

Yes it will fit a yugo ak like most aks differ from each other but if u have the side plate it will work.And tell you this mount is solid iv shot 200gr boar rounds out of mine and its dead on for hunting.

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.

Hi there, I bought this scope for a Benelli Super Nove 12 ga. I realized after I purchased it the my shotgun was not drilled/tapped for a scope mount ( most shotguns aren't). I had to take my shotgun to ALocal gunsmith and he drilled-tapped, mounted the scope and bore sighted it for $50. Originally I thought I could mount the scope on the rob but it was way too far forward. The mounts and rings coat around $35. Took it turkey hunting and got a big gobbler at 68 yards. Hope this helps. Darren

As far as rouged and lasting I have it mounted on a 1911 .45acp and have put over 2K rounds down range with it attached. The AK is a great rifle however I would look into the Streamlight for the AR/AK platform not the handgun model. I would not personnal put this on my rifle I would use the Crimson Trace light/ lazer combo vert grip or the larger Streamlight for your application. All that said it also depends on what your doing with it, hunting hogs? get a flood light, home defence- I wouldnt use an AK...

Yes it should hold up just fine to the ballistics but the only real issues will be the mount and drop rate on the cross hairs. The side mounts on the ak have to be extremely tight cause of the extreme vibration of the bolt bouncing back, but would recommend the quad rail or top cover/ receiver cover with rail welded. Next is that the cross hair drop rate is made specifically for the .223/5.56 55gr for drop to 100m 200m and so on. the 7.62 drop rate will be different from the .223

Yes, but - I threw it away after filing it down to try & make it fit (per instructions).It would not fit my Russian SKS. After much time filing it was not even close to fitting. I have seen it mounted in many photos on the internet but I doubt they were Russian guns. I went with the "Sun Optics" mount with picatiny rails.

I have it mounted on a Ruger MKII hand gun. Since I shoot it at arm's length I would think it will work very well. Due to the nature of red dot designs, you have to get used to "hunting" for the dot. That is, if your eye is not aligned with the AK receiver dust cover you may find yourself looking for the dot at first. BTW, this is a very small red dot sight but I think it will work.

It's .11 dovetail. The scope can be OK or complete junk. You definitely should upgrade the scope mounts, imo.

Abrek 777, I do not know if they will will work with AK style. I have an AK and I have purchased an extra set of the sights for it. I was planning on giving them a go in a two weeks when I shot next. I can post an update then, sorry I don't have an answer for you now.

I use this on my saiga ak47. I like it better than the side mount utg. Very low profle and easy to install. Peep sight that comes with it is useless do not put it on the rail.

Gotta file stock where it meets the stock tang. id go ahead an try par arms this isnt any cheaper an its heavyier just my 2 cents. The hinge part makes no sense im pretty darn sure most akms have a rear sight block for the rear sight leaf... is simple kalishnakov knowledge comrad!

I have it on a Remington 742 (.308) and it seems to be OK. Can't promise, but I should think it would work on an AK. The biggest problem I had was zeroing it. Once that was done, I haven't had any problems.

Yes this product will mount on an AK with side rail. Depending on the height of the rail mount it could be a little high of a cheek weld. So if you let me know what setup you are running I can give you a better idea.

You will find on the web an AK 47, Dragunov side mount. This side mount seems to be the same as the Midwest Industries AK Railed side mount.It has good reviews. I do not have personal experience putting the AK 47 Railed side mount on a Dragunov. I would try it. .
