I went to my favorite gun store yesterday to pick up a Yugo M70AB2 that i had in layaway. While waiting, I saw something in the rack that looked like a "sporter" AK47. It had synthetic furniture and a short box magazine. I asked what it was and was told it was a Saiga .308. I bought it on the spot ! It is a neat little rifle. I am taking a range trip this Saturday and will let you know how it goes.
