This ^^^^ I have some real heavy hitters, but the .308 Saiga ain't one of them. But it is really loud!

".40 cal assault weapon"?

A wise old Gunners mate told me a long time ago: Let the shot surprise you. In other words slowly and gently squeeze the trigger until it goes off. If you are a little surprised by the "bang" it will probably be a good shot. Having someone load your weapon for you with or without ammo (or with a snap cap mixed int) and have them return it to you. When you squeeze the trigger and the chamber is empty your problem will become apparent. Enjoy!

A nice old 1911

I bought a case from AIM surplus a while back. Beautiful, looks like new. Operates flawlessly. As accurate as my CASR can be. Tim

I had a mini version of her. Really, looks a lot like yours. Weighed about 15 lbs. Got her from a Texas Animal shelter. She had distemper and was quite sick. But she survivied and became the best dog I have ever had. I had to put her down a few years ago at the age of 18. I miss her to this day.

My son's WASR in that round did a fine job on a coyote at about 150 yards. Using soft point Wolf ammo = DRT

Excellent info, thanks. I have a Saiga 16/308 as well. Great stuff to know. Tim

Pretty ho hum actually. My supervisor while I was dispatching at a sheriffs office started calling me that and it kind of stuck. My name IS Tim but that is where the similarity ends

Sorry that no one responded Blobman. A bullet button is that cursed thing attached to the trigger guard and prevents you from removing your magazine without using a 'tool' of some sort.

IMHO, a longer barrel will get you more velocity, but not necessarily better accuracy.

I know it is an old thread but.... My 4x Bushnell scoped .308 is regularly < 2 MOA using South African surplus. More than adequate for my uses. Now to try 200+ Very happy Saiga owner.
