ironhead7544 35 Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 With the standard stock you need a long eye relief scope. I use a 2 1/2 power shotgun scope with 5 inch relief. This allows a good cheek weld with a low mount. There are many types of this scope available. Just do a search. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What scope should I get w/o breaking the bank??? I plan on hunting with it, mostly wild hog.... I did the same thing. I actually got a shotgun scope from wally world. It's made by tasco and it costs about 36 bucks or so. You'll definately need the long eye relief variety. I just got a T6 stock so I hope it still works. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LESchwartz 9 Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 As the other posters have mentioned, eye relief is key. For POSP-style scopes there are two commonly used clamps: the SKS/SVD style and the AK V-clamp style. The SKS/SVD style doesn't clamp well to the AK scope rail, and the AK V-clamp style positions the scope for too far forward on the OEM Saiga. There is also a rare clamp version specifically for the Saiga, but they are hard to come by (Tantal may have some, though). Larry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
