AK-47 scope mounts

[muzzleman]

I am thinking about putting a scope on my Romainian SAR 3 ak-47.  What are your opinions on a side mount or a top mount?  I am thinking the side mount.  Here is a pic of where you attach for the side mount.  Would it be good for hunting varmints?  It shoots .223s.

I would go with a side mount for sure.

Get a low power scope and get it dialed in.  I would think it would work good for varmit hunting.  Got anymore pics?

That is what I thought.  I wasn't sure on scope size either. Here is another Pic
Thanks
