Best budget red dot for AK folder

[Cooker]

Hey, I bought one of those scope mounts for the side rail like that but when I put it on the top rail isn't centered on the rifle. Is there a way to center it or is there something off with my side rail?

Not that I know of. I was pissed when I discovered this as well, but was told shortly after that most of them are like this..

I read that many AK scope mounts are off set to the left as Russians are trained to use a scoped AK with there left eye leaving there right eye open.I like the setup as I lost my rt eye and am rt handed.

Thanks, guess I'll figure it out or live with it.

It's not offset to the left, it's to the right and it's quite a bit off, nearly half an inch

I like my Kobra. It isn't dirt cheap, but it isn't expensive either.

No , but how about an Aimpoint C3 on an Ultimak?

If it's just for a plinker , it's like dotting a 10/22--no big deal.
I use one of the $70 - $80 dots from Cabella's on a plinker AK.
I haven't shot it super hot so I don't know how well the dot will do if it gets broiled.
