jAK-47 1 Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 (edited) Saw this in another thread and just wanted opinions. No flame intended. I'm pretty sold on getting a .223 version and was just doing some research. My Krebs 103K is my favorite gun and it's a 7.62X39 built on a Saiga so... It appears from reading members' posts that the .223 Saiga jams more or otherwise has more problems than the 7.62x39 Saiga. What say you? Edited to add this ? - I don't own a sniper rifle and I know that the Saiga .223 isn't exactly an ultimate 400 meter sniper rifle but I have a 3.8-12X44 scope I'd like to put on the Saiga .223(when I get it) just for fun - my club only has a 200 yard max anyway. I already have a great AK Weaver mount. The scope is an inexpensive Simmons and I'd like to get a real Russion PSOP in the future. I've read and agree that Ruskie scopes are a better match for Ruskie rifles, etc. I have a red dot on my AK103K and know that a hi-power scope really belongs on the Saiga .308(on my list ) but dammit, I want to put that scope on the Saiga .223 when I get it. Advice, experiences welcome. Thanks, jAK-47 Edited July 12, 2004 by jAK-47 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrapathy2000 0 Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 just as reliable as the 7.62x39. the issue is feedramp the saiga has none its on the stock magazines. if you want hicaps you need a feedramp installed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gandalf 0 Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Feeding Wolf hollow points and Federal FMJ, I've never had a single problem with reliability. This gun was designed to take proprietary magazines. Using those mags, I don't see how you could have a problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
