will it need a certain siderail or will any siderail do? what scope would be recommended for a wasr22?

 

[AKBLUE]

Normally a POSP scope. Or a POSP style base with AK clamp amfd Weaver rail to mount a modern scope.

Here is a link also for a PU scope base for mounting on the AK if you want to go that way. But it is for the PUs with the 26.5mm tubes not the Inch tubes

That is a Romanian PSO scope on an AK receiver rail. That scope clamp is meant for a PSL/SVD/SKS tyope rail and installation. It sits the scope lower to the receiver and further back. It also indexes or "stops" on a pin which extends inside the rar of the clamp. It may or may not match u to many AK style rails. An AK clamp is longer and with an open slit along the clamp. It indexes or "stops" on the closed end of the clamp against the rear of the receiver rail. Not a good set up.

yeah, for sure if you went that route, you would want a AK rail base scope, not a PSL/SVD/SKS rail base scope.

I made an image to help ID the difference that AKBLUE is mentioning. It is important:
