I have a 16" 308 that I have converted and use it on Hogs here Texas. I load Nosler 150gr balistic tip and it does a number on them. I like the shortness of the Saiga it is real handy when jumping out of the truck or tractor to get a shot at a rooter. It is also handy to get off the gun rack on the atv, plus mud and water does not afect the operation of it.
