last year I got my first try first buck with the mosin nagant...this year I am trying again same way but my girlfriend is trying for her first and all I have for her to use is the SKS///cant afford much for a scope..at best I will get a 40$ scope ...any advice on good ammo or inexpensive scope brands????

Try Simmonds, Tasco, Pine ridge through Cabelas, for your scope.

try a tasco i'm a bushnell and burris guy but i do have one tasco and i like it i've hunted with it for 12+ years and have taken most of my deer and two hogs with it good luck to both of you

I believe that you can't go wrong with Remington core lokt ammo. It has been serving hunters for decades. With a little shopping I think you can still find it for $15.00 a box on sale.

I'll second what su106 & HM have already said. I have one rifle with a Tasco 3x9x40 scope and have successfully hunted with it for several years. As for hunting with Core Lokt ammo -- That's all I use.

SKS -- 7.62x39? Go to Cabelas.com. I just looked at their catalog and found some in that caliber for around $13 for a box of 20. (Not Core-Lokt, but still a reputable brand.)

I've had bad experiences with cheap tasco's.

Try this scope (and hurry up because they will sell out fast!) - Bushnell Banner Rifle Scope 3-9x 40mm Multi-X Reticle Matte - MidwayUSA EDIT: was $40 but is back up to the normal price of $80.

For ammo I would take these Federals (I've seen deer fall to this power shock stuff like it was hit with a sledgehammer, in 30-06 though) - Federal Power-Shok Ammunition 7.62x39mm Russian 123 Grain Soft Point Box of 20 - MidwayUSA

I appreciate all the input Ill check it out

If I was going to go with a Tasco it would probably have to be one of their "World Class Series" scopes...they aren't too expensive and they have good reviews.

I'd probably go with this one...Tasco World Class Rifle Scope 3-9x 40mm Mil-Dot Reticle Matte - MidwayUSA
