The SKS Is Surprisingly Good Late Wipe! Lowest Recoil & Budget Build Guide

Today's video is about SKS builds, and how this weapon holds up in 12.12 well despite being towards the end of the wipe. We start by showing the possible configurations, from the beginner friendly stock variant through to the high end TAPCO, which gives us our lowest recoil version.

However there is a great barter at only Mechanic 2, which lets us snag the base UAS SKS for only 3 weapons parts - these can be found as low as 10k on the flea which makes the build extremely cost effective!

At first, it doesn't seem that the "ring" scopes are compatible with the SKS, but finally we show that you can mount pretty much anything if you use a specific combination of parts.

Happy hunting!
