SKS - Best Sighting Arrangements
I purchased SKS rifles with TAPCO stocks for my boys for Christmas. They seem unable to adapt to the leaf sights.
They have shot plenty with ghost rings and red dots and I was considering going one of those two routes. Does anyone have suggestions for a better sighting solution that lends itself to the application for the SKS rifle?

I just bought the tech sights TS200 and was ringing gongs at 200 yards with my Chinese SKS. I'm not that great with irons so that is more than exemplary performance in my opinion.

Those look suitable but seem expensive. I wonder if there is a cheaper option?
A folder would be nice too, to allow the use of a red dot up front.

a scope rail may work better and many that i see are in the $30 range but they seem like they hold the optic too high and too far to the rear for a proper chin weld...

Ditto the Tech Sights. I installed these on two different Yugo's, and they worked great! Easy install. The only PITA with these sights is that the mounting screw replaces the receiver cover pin, which makes breaking down the rifle a little more complicated. Frankly however, there is no need to frequently field strip an SKS.

Do you leave the rear sight in and just add the tech sight??

If I may
In my opine, whatever that is worth, I think you should train them to shoot the leaf sights until they do well!!!
Like learning to drive a Stick, old school sights is a worthy endeavor for new shooters! It makes them think, and that makes them better...
