Everybody that has been out shooting with me has been amazed at the accuracy of the thing. Had a friend with a new Marlin lever gun and we both shot better off hand with the .308 Saiga. I think it kind of pissed him off, but now he wants me to help him build one for himself. I think mine is easily capable of sub 2 inch groups like it sits and probably could do better with just a little work. For what I wanted the rifle for, it is plenty accurate enough. I have been pleasantly surprised by it. One side benefit of this rifle is that every time I shoot it, I get a silly grin on my face. Ha
