The bushnell scopes are really clear and crisp in the low light conditions. I can stay in my stand longer because of it in the evenings and still see good enough for a shot too. For the cost vs the quality of the bushnell scope i think you made a wise choice. UNKN

I would like to put some muzzle brakes on my 308 saiga's. Which one do you like better the canted one or the larger ak style muzzle brakes? If i add the canted ones will it keep the muzzle climb down? UNKN

I'm very happy with the accuracy of my saiga w/16" barrel in 308win benchrested its shooting 1 1/2" groups with surplus ammo at 100yds. Reloads will tighten it up but i want it mainly for surplus ammo. I may do a sniper build in the future too who knows. I have a saiga w/21" barrel in 308 also that i haven't benchrested yet and i been thinking it should equal the 16" barrel or even shoot a tad better. I'm leaving the 21" barrel at 21" till i test it to see how it shoots first. All my 6 saiga's are in there orginal furniture but with you guys that are keep on posting pics of your conversio

I wonder if i put on the canted muzzle brake on my 308 saiga will it make it more accurate? I'm shooting 1 1/2" groups now with surplus 308ball ammo. UNKN

I've heard good things about there accuracy time will tell she is almost ready to benchrest soon. I have the one upgrade to the sadlak tactical mag release to do next and she is off to the range with my surplus south african 308 ball ammo first. My saiga in 308win with the 16" barrel shoots 1 1/2" groups using the south african surplus 308ball ammo. I also have some 145gr FMJBT i loaded up too. I just purchased some 175gr FMJBT sniper bullets with some once fired lake city 7,62nato brass. I hope to load up a few rounds to test fire in my m14 too. I hope it can run with my saiga's in accu

Is the barrel just long enough to add enough threads to attach the canted muzzle brake on the saiga in its orginal form? I'm thinking of trying it on my saiga in 223 and in 308win. I have a 21" barreled saiga in 308win i want to scope it and add the longer ak muzzle brake if this works out on my smaller 16" barrels first. UNKN

I was wondering if the ak47 muzzle brakes work on the saiga if we thread the barrel? Would the canted ak47 muzzle brake hold down the muzzle climb? I'm sure someone has done or tried all this by now. UNKN

I think we don't need to spend a dime on a better barrel upgrade for the saiga in 308. To do a sniper upgrade or have an accurate better long range shooting saiga we need to experiment to find out what bullet weight is the sweet spot for the best accuracy out of the saiga. Once we have it shooting tighter groups at 100yds we need to look at the optics next. Once we apply the quality optics and sight it in were ready for shooting at the longer distances. I'm sorry but my gut feeling is the saiga with its world famous quality russian chromed lined barrel/chamber i'm sure can hold its own. W

Remember the unknown guy with the brown shopping bag over his head on the gong show withy chuck barry?? I'm the guy sitting infront of the puter with the bag over my head so no one recognises me.......i made a funny i guess. Bill oops UNKN Remember the whole world is a stage and were performing for the aliens were the real gong show.

I never wander into bear country without my 338win mag. He fired a warning shot like he said and he didn't want to kill the mother bear and leave the cubs for some male bears din-din i'm sure. I never would of guessed a warning shot like this would work but i wouldn't count on it all the time for working. I wonder if they had to clean there shorts after this? I have heard true stories about one guy who walked up on a blackbear den. The bear was in it and charged out running the guy down and over him and it continued to run off. While his two buddy's watched and he had to go back to there

I think even the 16" barreled saiga in 308win will surprise anyone with its accuracy. At first our problem was with the sks many years ago we were too busy shooting soda cans while blasting off 30rd mags having too much fun to focus on accuracy. Once we got into benchresting them the word accurate came into our vocabulary. I was very surprised at the groups we were shooting. Before this I would laugh at the pics of the sks snipers. We needed to get past the myth that the sks's & ak's/akm's aren't accurate and hunker down and give them a try benchrested. Get down right serious about accura

I was only shooting the south african 308ball ammo and benchrested at 100yds were shooting 1 1/2" groups constantly. We just ran 8k of 308win using the 145gr FMJBT with IMR4895 powder and CCI #34 nato primers which were going to shoot next. I just received some lake city once fired brass and some 175gr FMJBT sniper bullets to load and try at the sametime too. I regret we can only shoot 100yds. I have two saiga's in 308 w16" barrels and one with the 21" barrel. We haven't shot the 21" barreled saiga yet we been busy putting the 16" barrel thru its paces. The IMR 4895 gun powder is for the mi

When the import first stopped here i grabbed every saiga i could get my hands on for the fear of ever not seeing them offered here again. I picked up a like new hardley shot if shot at all used saiga in 308win with the kalinka scope and rail mount (one piece). Not being familair with this one piece scope/mount i tried to mount it and get it to lock up and it took me forever to adjust the cam tightness so it was mounted and locked up correctly on the saiga. I think thats why the PO traded it in he couldn't get the scope / mount to lock in place correctly. It makes me wonder how many get it

At first my loacl gun shop wanted nothing to do with the military surplus guns, nothing. He only offered the sks's thru the many years but when he got the surplus stuff in trade he just dumped them. Right now after decades of doing this he has changed his ways and realized there is money to be made with the surplus guns. But the day of the orginal svt 40's (he had twins i got one) i grabbed an fn49 egyptian in 8mm for $270 and a fn49 lux in 30-06 for $399 all from one collection and more too. Of course i purchased a refurb unshot svt-40 weeks before for $650. He also had the argentine rifles

I've always wanted to get an m1a/m14 semi auto rifle in 7,62nato. One of my local dealers advertised it for $799 and along with some free trades i had laying around i got it for under $400 OTD. The rifle appears to be not shot that much with no noticable wear at all. I did fix the loose op rod guide block and i installed the national match op rod spring guide from brownells and the extra power op rod spring from wolf. The headspace checked out ok too with lots of life left in her too. I'm waiting for the metric tactical mag release and the extra gas plug i ordered too. I'm going to make a me

I haven't had time to sight in my saiga's yet in 223rem with the 16" barrels. Whats the average groups at 100yds for this rifle using wolf fmj ammo? UNKN

Why do this do you ask? I picked up a sporterized 91/59 which i thought at first was an M44 because of its shorter barrel. The rear sight being milled off at the longer distances was a dead give away its a m91/59. I also noticed the front part of the barrel is much thicker too. I haven't shot it to this day but i'll bet its very accurate. The gunsmith who did the sporterizing on it also cut and welded a bent bolt, he mounted a modern front sight and did a trigger job on it. If i mount a scope on it i'm sure it will make a great hunting rifle. My point is the 91/30 cut down becomes a 91/59

The only bring backs from nam i have seen for sale at the BIG E gun show in westspringfield,mass were two war bring backs that were sealed with poly i'm guessing to preserve the blood stains. They were only around $450 to $500 at the time and the one that had more blood was priced higher. Seeingt the blood gave me the willies. I passed on them. Of course today i think i should of grabbed both. Since i haven't seen many war bring backs in person i been thinking we just may see more and more due to the owners getting older and passin on. If we stay browsing I have caught the older collectors

I think the russian izhmash saiga is way under rated and over looked because it has that "ak/akm" label on it. But if we take a closer look its not your normal "ak" or "akm". The russians at izhmash focused on making a very accurate, more accurate than any other ak/akm style semi auto and they did it. With the saiga in 308 shooting 1 1/2" groups using surplus ammo and 1/2" moa's with a better quality ammo would i call it fairly accurate i don't think so. Years ago when the first saiga's were offered in 308win some shooters were ringing gongs at 450yds with the 16" barreled 308's. I'd like t

Your shooting these awesome tight groups with your saiga in 308win like 1/2" moa's and better. My question is how much work was done on your saiga to get it to shoot this kind of accuracy?? Or is it out of the box stock in its orginal condition? I heard rumors that these saiga's had work done on them to shoot this kind of accuracy. YES or NO ??? UNKP

My saiga in 308win will shoot 1 1/2" groups @ 100yds using the surplus south african 308ball ammo benchrested. Now some shooters here with the 308win saiga are shooting 1/2" moa's @ 100yds. With this kind of accuracy i'm thinking the saiga maybe accurate at the longer distances too. With the russians @ izhmash admitting the two american calibers of 223 and 308 are a tad more accurate over the russian calibers. I'm also kind of certain at some point at the longer distances the 21" barrel would take the asaiga in 308win out even farther at the longer distances over the 16" barrel. The norm has

When i post about my accuracy with any rifle or handgun its me and my son shooting it and getting the same results so its no fluke. With us only using the surplus south african 308ball ammo so far were both getting 1 1/2" groups @ 100yds benchrested. They seem to stay at 1 1/2" groups no less and no larger if we do our part. This isn't bad with using surplus 308 ball ammo. We will be loading up some match grade quality ammo in 145gr FMJBT, 150gr FMJBT and some 175gr FMJBT ammo to try next benchrested. UNKP I believe the shorter distances require the lighter bullets and the longer dist

I been wondering at what distance does the accuracy of the saiga in 308win with the 16" barrel fall off at?? My point is whats the limit on accuracy with the 16" barreled saiga in 308win at what yardage? I'm thinking when the 16" barreled 308 saiga at the longer distances falls off accuracy wise this is where the 21" barreled saiga in 308 will take over. Now how far will the 21" barreled saiga in 308 will shoot accurately, how far out past the 16" barrel?? Or is the 16" barrel more accurate than the 21" barrel in 308 with the saiga? Sorry i can only shoot 100yds here and i wou

A 1911 from redjacket sounds great. Did you notice they only use the saiga's as a platform for most of there builds? You don't have a 1911 yet?? Shame on you, your missing out on one of the best auto's there ever was. I like my CZ85DB and the CZ line of pistols too but the 1911's are awesome too. After owning three bad brand new 1911's in the 70's, 80's and 90's the last 1911 for me was going to be a used norinco. The norinco showed me what all the 1911 hype is all about. I soon after went out and purchased a brand new Auto-ordnance army WW2 copy 1911a1 in 2005. Its been flawless rig

I was buying it by the sealed can as often as i could. I haven't shot the tok's much either. I hope the surplus tok ammo shows up again too. It was only $79 on sale per 1240rd can. I have a few cans but i wish i had more stocked up. Bill
