Are the Bushnell Sportsview (4X or 3-9X )scopes any good for SKS? I don't want to spend a lot on scopes but I'm not sure if the recoil of a 7.62 X 39 would be too much for them (they are being advertised as 22 Cal scopes). If anyone has successfully used them on SKS please share your experience.

You will have to use a short scope on a SKS or a brass deflector. Ejected brass will beat a regular lenght scope to death without one. You will not be able to load your rifle with stripper clips with a regular lenght scope.
Your best bet is a Chinese mount with a Chinese compact scope. Then you can use stripper clips and the brass won't hit it on ejection.
