Blern 70 Posted May 11, 2014 Is there any way to attach a rail for an ACOG or other scope or is the SKS just suited for the PU and long range? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hotcakes 348 Posted May 11, 2014 The SKS can only mount the PU scope. That's pretty much the only thing you need since its accuracy is very bad beyond 50m. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The gun is actually the sniper archetype of DayZ, believe it or not. If you add a compensator, a Mosin has almost no spread. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

UltimateGentleman 355 Posted May 11, 2014 Not in the game now but there should be later on the PU scope isn't that great, it's kind of annoying how the M4 has like 10 different attachments or something and the SKS, which is debatably as good has basically one since the bayonet is useless at the moment(and probably will be even when usable) Even just duct taping a red dot sight to it would be nice.

In reality, you would lose zeroing after every shot if you duct-taped the sights on. People complain about scope give even when they're using rails. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well a red dot sight would be fine, provided it was on well enough to not be shaking around.If you had no other way of attaching the sight it's the best option, not perfect but something. I've had people kill me with an M4 from way up a hill, like 300m at least so if they can do that I don't see why the SKS shouldn't be allowed the long range scope.

I've had people kill me with an M4 from way up a hill, like 300m at least so if they can do that I don't see why the SKS shouldn't be allowed the long range scope.The difference is a top-tier M4 has slightly better accuracy than a stock Mosin, whilst an SKS is just plain inaccurate.

nl 986 Posted May 11, 2014 Lol, if you have been here a while you constantly see the same topics coming up, interval of about 2 weeks.But yeah, let's discuss the duct tape scope again and the accuracy (or lack off) of the M4, SKS and mosin in the game compared to real life. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taxi driver 9 Posted May 11, 2014 ...and i find the SKS is the most accurate gun in the game. Just had 1 (player) kill tho, maybe lucky. But zed testing worked well too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BadAsh (DayZ) 1513 Posted May 14, 2014 ...and i find the SKS is the most accurate gun in the game. Just had 1 (player) kill tho, maybe lucky. But zed testing worked well too. In my experience it is a tie bewteen the blaze and the mosin when it comes to being the most accurate gun in game. Possible the blaze being a bit more accurate (but difficult to compare, as it has no scope). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sgt (DayZ) 32 Posted May 14, 2014 I have done some research with my mates. Mosin is the most accurate weapon. Quite point accurate at 800meters, m4 is more accurate than SKS if m4 has bipod. We fired at rage of 300 - 500meters with both M4 and SKS. M4 had maybe little better accurate, but it didnt kill on body shot where SKS did on hit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sokaku 50 Posted May 14, 2014 The blaze is a lovely gun, even without a scope. I prefer it if in medium range to a Mosin. But the SKS is a better situational gun due to the 10 round internal mag. With strip loaders if you can find them it is a beast by lessening the reload hassle. Starting out I try to get either an SKS, or a Magnum + Blaze. Once I have a LR scope then I'll swap out for a Mosin. Blaze->Mosin is an advantage because you don't have to swap out ammo. By then I should have swapped the magnum for a FNX with magazines. I've tried carrying the M4 as a primary and swap-secondary but I don't really like it. I like the stopping power of the SKS/Blaze, and feel vulnerable at range if the M4 is my primary.
