I have two Wasr's, one double stack, one single stack. I have one side mount and two scopes i could mount. Here's the mount and one of the scopes

The scope is a NCSTAR "sniper scope" lighted reticle (a useless feature i think) that works fine on my other rifle, a Stag M4gery, even after 1000 rounds. Very accurate at 200 yards. It is shown in the photo mounted on the single stack WASR. The scope is not so accurate on the WASR AK. On the photo gun it shot several feet high at 200 yards and i could not adjust the scope low enough. On my new double stack it was so inacurate i could not even see the bullet hit the dirt at the same range! I think this must be due to the very high mounting point and very straight angle of the riveted side scope mount on the WASR.
I have an expensive air gun scope, from my RWS spring piston .177 pellet gun that i am thinking of using instead. Air gun scopes are to the best of my knowledge, overbuilt and the lenses are braced forward and back, and probably would stand up to the recoil of an AK (i think). I know air gun scopes are meant for shorter ranges but am wondering if it might just work.
Does anybody know what is a good low to mid priced scope that is going to work on a side mount for 100 - 200 yards? And is my air gun scope idea stupid or might it work?
