    I would say you got a great deal. Sure the sights jacked up but:

     

    A. If you only shoot with the scope then it doesn't matter at all. Yeah if the scope goes belly up on you you are done but what are you using this thing for? How much does it really matter? If you were staking your life on that set up it might be a problem if not the consequences of the scope or mount failing is an abbreviated shooting session.

     

    B. There are much better iron sight options out there. Sure you have to add the price of them but I want to move away from my OME open sights anyways and I didn't get a steal on my S308 for someone being too retarded to remove the sight correctly.

     

    In short I wouldn't have any buyers remorse if I were you. If it were my rifle I would likely look into some other sights probably the HK sights.

     

    Thanks. I have zero remorse, and I would buy again. I originally posted here to get ideas on what to do with the rear sight. Thanks to all of you who have helped. I will look into the HK sights.

     

    I also received several offers to buy the gun from me--sorry guys not for sale.

    After the thrill of the bargain has worn off your still stuck with a messed up rear sight .
    Amen to that brotha. Ain't no deal here... But we do got us a jacked up Saiga.

     

    I don't know.

     

    The way I see it

     

    5 mags @ around $30.00 = $150.00

    80 rounds @ .$50 = $ 40.00

    Bushnell Scope = $ 50.00

    Side Mount = $ 30.00

    ----------------------------------------------

    $ 270.00

     

    Saiga for $30.00

     

    sounds good to me. :)

    I got a great deal on my Saiga 308 with mount scope and 5 mags. The gun had the rear sight taken off by the last owner-I presume it was to put a scope on and get clearance.

     

    I wanted to replace the sight as I like to have the ability to use the iron sight but the last owner I think took a dremel to take the sight off-idiot.

     

    Anyway is there anything I can do to fix this situation. See pictures below.

  7. Ran out of scope adjustment

    in Saiga .308

    Hello all,

     

    I have a new to me Saiga 308 with a Belarus side mount and a Bushnell scope on it. The person I bought it from never used the scope but included it in the sale. I mounted the scope and went to the range, I was unable to zero the scope, I ran out of adjustment before POI was good. Best it got was 2 feet low at 100 yards with the scope adjustment maxed out. I tried changing scope to a Mueller I have and same thing happened.

     

    Do I need different height on the rings? Would this work without flexing the tube on the scope.

     

    I dont think the actual scope mount is adjustable and the pins next to the screws pretty much set it place

     

    Help.
