  1. Well - whoopppp-te-dooooooo - everything has been solved and my Arsenal Saiga 12 appears to now be a tack driver (if that's even possible for a shotgun). Got to meet with Shannon (Cobra) today. Little did I realize that he lives right here in the same town as I, so I drove down to his place which was only 6 miles from where I lived. I picked up a Win-choke adapter and chatted a bit. I definitely plan on bringing him my Saiga (once his workload lightens up) to do that other work to the bolt, trigger, etc. - it's well worth it from what I saw. Anyway, I took it to the range tonight -
  2. Well, that's certainly impressive - meaning that group. Will pick up some of the Winchester X rifled slugs (only $10 something for a box of 15). Will give those a shot and will first try shooting the other slugs without the scope, using the iron sights only to see if there's a "disconnect" somewhere. Lots of great info in these replies - many thanks.
  3. Well - nothing is loose - as I mentioned (and triple checked). GunFun may be right - meaning the scope mount might be crooked. I have everything boresighted in perfectly (so I assume), so I'll have to change out the scope mount to see if that's the trick. And I'll also remove the flash suppressor. I'm leavin' nothing to chance here.
  4. Nope - no wiggle at all (this is the first thing I checked). The mount and all connections are solid as a rock. One of the range gunsmiths/instructors shot it also - using the Leupold Shotgun scope and he was perplexed also about the accuracy being so far off. He also mentioned about changing ammo (to some rifled slugs) and also to look into some type of choke adapter to fit the Saiga 12. I didn't see anything unusual while the other guy was shooting the gun. But I'll remove the flash suppressor to see if that had anything to do with it the next time I visit the range. In the meantim
  5. I have no choke on my Saiga right now - just a flash suppressor/compensator as seen in the photo above.
  6. First of all: 1. To GUNFUN - many, many thanks for that detailed information on the various types of slug rounds. I've copied that info down - talk about detail. Very, very helpful. 2. To Barnett3006: I purchased 250 rounds of slugs called "Law Enforcement Strike Slug" originally manufactured by an Italian Company called NSI (which stands for "Nobel Sport Italia," which from what I understand is no longer in business). Here's some data on these slugs, along with a stock photo of the box: Technical Information •Gauge: 12 •Shell Length: 2-3/4" •Slug Type: Strike Lead Rifle
  7. Well, thanks for all of the comments.... As I mentioned, I have the Arsenal version of the Saiga and from what I heard, they're one of the better importers (doing modifications on their end). But I still need a bit of clarification here. On one hand, some of you are saying that using a rifled slug should improve accuracy, while others are saying that rifled slugs are worthless and do not cause any spinning of the slug after it's fired. Then one or two of you are saying that using a choke adapter and a slug choke would not have much effect on providing the spin necessary. Sound
  8. Hello all: This is my first posting here so if my question(s) appear(s) to sound like a newby, perhaps it is so with regards to shotguns. Although I've been shooting for quite awhile (over 40 years), it's only recently that I became enamored with various shotguns. So I recently purchased a gorgeous Arsenal Model 12 Gauge Saiga model shotgun shown here: However, when shooting regular slugs through this gun - even with a shotgun scope attached - I couldn't hit the side of a barn. No matter how many times I tried to zero in several shotgun scopes, the patterns were so inconsist
