Overview

The Tech Sights TS200 is the iron-sight upgrade that turns an SKS into a rifle you can actually shoot to its potential without bolting on glass. The stock SKS uses a coarse open notch rear sight set well forward on the barrel, which gives a short sight radius and a sloppy sight picture. The TS200 replaces that notch with a single elevation-adjustable aperture mounted on the rear sight base, pushing the rear sight back roughly 10 inches and giving the shooter a clean M16/Garand-style peep picture.

The rear is adjustable for both windage and elevation, with a detent that locks the aperture in place once zeroed. The .062 inch aperture is the same diameter used on AR-15 and Garand service sights, so the eye centers it naturally and acquires the front post fast. Installation requires no drilling or tapping; the TS200 clamps onto the existing rear sight base.

This is the pick for the shooter who wants to keep the SKS traditional. It is far more precise than the stock notch, it carries over the same sight discipline trained on a service rifle, and the steel base survives the SKS's stout 7.62x39 recoil. It fits Russian, Chinese, and Yugoslavian carbines.
