Is the Factory EAA siderail scope mount the best mount for the Saiga 308? Seems pretty high off the bore axis, although that allows use of iron sights also. A lower mount seems more pleasing cosmetically. What are you guys using and what seems to be the best setup? Will be getting new Saiga 308 soon, so thought I'd ask.

Fllintnapr, I see your point with open sights. But what if a scope is mounted on either rifle barrel length. Wouldn't the accuracy be pretty much the same?

Hadn't thought about a take off stock for the 16 incher. Good Idea. Will it fit without any modifications? My dealer has the synthetic stocked 16 inchers in stock for $289. Would there be any advantage to a 22 inch barrel other than bullet velocity gain? Is it any more accurate or is it just a little heavy to handle. I haven't had a chance to handle the 22 inch model.

Hi. Decided to check out the Saiga 308. I would like one with the wood furniture, but am only finding that the 22" model comes with wood furniture. Is this correct? Apparently the 16"carbine comes with Synthetic furniture only??? I just think the wood looks so much better in my opinion. A 16" carbine in 308 with wood would be ideal, but I dont' think they come that way. At least, I haven't found one anywhere yet. Anyone got any suggestions or references on this? Thanx, Dos
