New Saiga Owner with a not-so-new question


Recommended Posts

I just picked up a Saiga .308 with the skeletonized stock. I've only put 20 rounds through it so far, but I know this is the rifle for me!

 

I tried searching, but I couldn't find the answer to this question:

 

I like the POSP scopes. They're durable, inexpensive, and bolt right up. However, they don't seem very lefty-friendly. I'd like to get the same value, but in something that I can use when shooting left-handed. I assume I'd get a high-rise scope mount, but what are my options for a good, inexpensive scope with the same range-finding abilities as the POSP line?

 

Please get back to me with any suggestions. Thanks!

Depends on if you want "close enough" or "really darn good." The dust covers will generally have a little bit of play in them. But you can make them fit tight enough that the play will be very minimal, and thus a dust-cover mount probably will get you "close enough." You won't be overlapping bullet holes, but AKs generally can't do that regardless. It's a 2moa gun, so with a slightly loose scope mount you'd be a tad bit worse than that, but I don't think it'd be unbearably bad.

 

I'd suggest a Belarus Side-Rail Mount though. They are cheaper and take no modifications (which you may have to do to get your dust-cover free from play), and they are a very consistant mount. Just my $0.02, but I use the Belarus on my S12 and S20 and love it.

The receiver cover mounts are crap, they move cero every 3 shots or less, unless

you want to mod the cover to fit tight on the receiver, but that will take a lot

more work than mod a side mount scope mount..

 

How bad does cover are, well lets say you hit anything but the target you want to hit.

 

Damn I should get some mounts and mod them for the lefty people of the world, I

probably will be rich by now or just a fool with a ton or lefty people scope mouths.
