SKS receiver cover opinion?

[Tobashadow]

I have had a scope mount like this for years and want to go with a standard Weaver rail to mount a red dot I have since it doesn't fit in the rings where the 2x scope is. Does anyone have a opinion on a good one that doesn't cost a fortune?

Why not just buy a piece of Weaver rail and mount it to the stock cover? It would be easy and cheap(if you still have the original cover that is).

Original lost in a fire.

I can tell you that won't hold zero. None of the receiver cover mounts really do without extensive work. I recommend a scout scope mount that replaces the rear sight with a picatinny rail mount.

This.  The dust cover isn't nearly rigid enough nor is it attached well enough to hold zero.

This is correct. I've had one of the railed rear covers and it would shimmy.
