  3. Help!!! Century Arms Fury 12G (Catamount Fury) Best 12 Gau

    in Saiga-12

    Posted · Edited by sixshooter

    I bought a Century Arms Catamount Fury (since Saigas were an arm and a leg) in December. It would not cycle no matter what I did, and the dust cover broke off. Well sent it back to Century Arms, and finally got it back. The paperwork says they used Noble 12g 00 Buck to test with 10 rounds.

     

    My question is, since it is very similar to the Saiga, what 00 buck do you use? It needs broken in, so I need good 00 buck. I looked for Noble and it is expensive as hell. And I hear it is not that good. Many in forums suggest Win 209. But they do not have the picky Russian clones.

     

    Any help is greatly appreciated. I love my girl, but she is picky as my prom date many years ago... LOL

  5. Help?? Century Arms Fury 12G (Catamount Fury) Opinions?

    in Saiga-12

    Posted

    I just bought the Century Arms Fury 12G (Catamount Fury). This is my first semi auto shotgun.

     

    Anyone know where I can find 10 or more round magazines? Also I was told by my local dealer that there is a conversion out there that it will take Saiga 12 Mags? Where can I find that?

     

    Also shoulder stocks like on Saiga 12s? It has a shotgun stock, I want the AR adjustable type that takes some of the recoil.

     

    Thanks

    Todd

    Another great resource is Precision Reloading's manuals. There are loads for pretty much everything you could want in there. The out of print book, Blanks to supersonics is great too, if you can find a copy.

     

    Here's another great resource for manuals and components:

    What book woud be the book for long range 00 for reloading?? I am not too schooled on shotshells, and there are alot to choose from. What would you recommend for reloading my .410 (My Taurus Judge Defender) and my Saiga 12g Loads??

    I will be using "OO" pellets, since they spread. I am also looking into the resin Winchester Long Beard XR uses, that extends the tight grouping at up to 40 yards. Usually our minimum altitude due to trees. We usually fly at 50'- 200' depending on the trees.

     

    I will be reloading, so I thank GunFun for the reloading help also.

     

    This is by far the most informative forum!!!!

    Am I the only one to ask, "Why are you shooting more than 1 round per kill?"

    Seems to me you need to be a better shot, now dont get in a huff, I am not the best shot.

    However at 100s of rounds a day, the S12 will hurt, I dont care what you do.

     

    Those hogs can take hits to the body by an AR round... I have shot many hogs 4 to 5 times before they went down.. When thier in full sprint and I am hanging out of the heli... The hogs are running and my pilot has to keep up with them... Moving turbulance and the hogs changing direction... Snipers can't do 1 shot 1 kills from Helis... Too many variables... Hope that answers your question.

    To the guys advising him to hold it differently... He is apparently already an accomplished shooter. He knows how to hold a gun. He just said he is planning to fire hundreds of hot slugs a day on a regular basis and wants to make the gun itself take some of that load. A recoil pad, etc is clearly going to make that more comfortable. Even if you like a triangular steel stock with sharp corners, you have to admit this. Come down off of that horse.

     

    Thanks for all the help to you all... big_smile.gif

     

    I have shot my Sig12 and it is positioned perfect... It is after 40 or so my shoulder gets sore... My AR I would average 200 rounds per hunt and then I would get sore.. Those hogs can take hits unless behind the head... When thier in full sprint and I am hanging out of the heli...About 4 shots per hog, that is why I am switching to the Saiga 12... I will be using 00 buck, since it his higher kill racio... I will be reloading mine so thanks for the 2.75 instead of the 3" shells... I know recoil is in the rounds too...

     

    As for hunting with me... there are about 10 companies here in Texas that will take sportman up for about $700... I shoot alone as per my insurance and tiny heli

     

    Ill tell you when I was 150lbs the helis were small... I am 220 now and they are smaller... I more hang outside on the skids more than inside... Those that know helis I shoot from an R22.

    I have use an AR15 to hunt hogs from a helicopter for a few months now. But I am switching to a Saiga 12, since the hogs are still running after rounds hit them. But my Saiga 12 has a hell of a kick (ALOT more than my AR) and I will be going through 50-100 rounds per day. My shoulder will be sore and I don't want to support the Advil company. anger.gif

     

    So what are the best ways to make the Saiga 12 not kick so much. I have been told a flash suppressor that vents the gasses back towards me. Is there a stock that has a spring that absorbes the kick? What other things can I add that will reduce the kick and muzzle climb?
