Red dot sights are tough, you kind of get what you pay for.

For the AK with the original furniture, IMO almost any red dot sight just looks out of place- I would go with something like a 1P63 Obzor sight. It's big and clunky, but they're supposedly rock solid, and I like the look.

Check out kalinkaoptics for a bunch of different Russian red dots. They're a little on the expensive side, but I think they look awesome on an AK.
