Your question is a good one. I have yet to read a meaningful dialog on 16" vers 20". I have two 16" Saiga's, 7.62X39 and .223. I ordered a 20" today in .223. Hopefully I can get it to shoot better. I will do a Saiganov setup on the 20", put a good higher power variable scope and work to find the right ammo. I'll feedback the outcome. It should be fun. (by the way, a decent scope on the 20" looks right and makes sense, I don't like what a big scope looks like on the 16" they are better as combat rifles) I will do conversions on the 16's as they are still stock as well. Use the 10 round mags on the 20" unconverted rifle cause they will look right on it.
hey you 20" owners...
in Saiga 7.62 X 39
