This SKS has been in my armory since I was a young boy as it was given to me by my late grandfather.
When I got into my teens the stock was too short for me to comfortably shoot and so if I wanted to shoot prone or standing I would have to have a buttstock pad to extend my length of pull on the rifle so the scope wouldn’t come back and hit my glasses.
Last year at shot show I talked with ATI about getting the Strikeforce Stock with Scorpion Recoil System for the SKS and they agreed to to send it out for review.
I know some of you are asking yourself why I would take this gun out of this clean nice looking stock if my only problem was the length of pull which is easy to remedy. The easy answer is I was looking to update this rifle plain and simple.
The SKS fires the 7.62x39mm round which is very common and cheaper than .223 and some times you want to just go to the range and blow off a little steam and feel a little more recoil than a .22lr and the SKS and AK-47 have been great for that. however I have gotten more accustom to having a pistol grip and I wanted one for this rifle too.
The Strikeforce Stock with Scorpion Recoil System comes with three rails for the front of the stock so you can attach lasers and bipods.
It has a 6 position AR style side folding buttstock and I haven’t found anyone who has used over the 3rd position on this stock.

I still felt recoil both from standing and prone but it was very manageable and light.
