I went to the range for the first time to zero in my 8X42 POSP scope. It is attatched to the factory rail that came riveted on my Saiga. One thing I noticed is that after about 20 rounds down range the scope had some play in it. I took it off and then put it back on, pushing the lever past the lock mechanism on the scope but it didn't do anything. There is still forward/backward play in the scope, is there a way to tighten the latch or something? I'm thinking this may be a common fix?

If any California people are looking for a Saiga... http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/showthread.php?t=118685

So do I just bolt the rail onto the plastic foregrip?

.

I went to Walmart and purchased the bipod you guys are talking about and it wouldn't fit the Saiga. I took off the eyelet and tinkered with it for a while and couldn't figure out how to get it on, didn't seem like it fits.

If you were a resident in CA and owned hi-capacity (> 10 rds) mags before the year 2000, you can still use them. If you want to use them in a converted saiga, then you have to play the 922r game. Lets say that I don't have any mags that are before the year 2000, how do I get them?

If you're in northern California I have an FFL that can get you a Saiga, PM me. I got mine from him from DD's ranch + $50 transfer fee. If you're in Southern California then I wish you the best of luck.

And just to add my Saiga is not converted, and I really don't plan on converting it because I don't want a pistol grip, thanks.

I want to throw a skeleton stock on my Saiga. I do not really have access to any tools or anything to modify pieces etc., which skeleton stocks out there are a simple swap that can be done with basic tools? thanks

I went to walmart and all they had was the 9-13", seems kind of long for a Saiga no? most of you guys using that size?

Good advice for people looking for a scope, but I absolutely love my POSP since I mounted it, very high quality and it slides onto the sock Saiga rail with no additional work needed.

Do you know what the total cost of converting is? Where can I get the parts list? Not including what stock/pistol grip I go with And once it's converted, using a pistol grip is ok with california laws right?

What do you mean you have to convert it? Isnt it a matter of purchasing the stock, taking the other one off, and screwing the ATI one in? or am I missing something

Looking for an inexpensive spring bi-pod, maybe around $30? I see some on Ebay but they seem to be for Airsoft, not sure if these will all work or not? thanks.

Yea I've decided to go with a 8X POSP scope, thanks guys.

How does the magnification convert into yardage? I understand that I wont be shooting much over 250, so what mag should I go with? Lead and Range markers? Can you point me in the right direction? thanks Also fixed vs. variable power?

Bushnell also has some good scopes in the 150-180 range... decisions decisions

I've done a little research and Nikon ProStaff seem to get pretty good reviews, they are in the 150-180 range, still confused on the magnification though, thanks.

I just got my Saiga and I want to set it up Dragunov style, the gun is just for fun at the range and I never planned on dumping a ton of money into it. I already ordered the skeleton stock, picatinny rail. I was looking for a decent scope under $150, if one exhists...I don't know much about scopes as all I own is hand guns. What magnification should I get? what scopes would you guys recommend in that price range? thanks
