There is a lot of confusion on the mounts for these rifles. Standard AK mounts do not work unless they are modified. Well I have a dragunov, so I test fitted my O-PAP with my SVD PSO-1 last night to test the mount, fits like a glove, locks up tight, with the correct forward stop. Of course, if you want to run an optic with eye relief, you will have to use a different mount that is more forward.
So I went ahead and ordered this mount: http://kalinkaoptics.com/mounts/svd...ofile-centered-side-mount-to-weaver-rail.html
And this red dot: https://www.primaryarms.com/Primary-Arms-Micro-Dot-with-Removable-Base-p/md-06l.htm
The only thing I worry about is it not being centered with the rifle, but even if it's not, I'm going to sight the red dot in at 50-75 yards and call it a day. Its a 3 MOA dot anyway, so it should be fine.
