Gandalf 0 Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 I want to buy a scope from Kalinka Optics for my Saiga. Problem is that the specific scope I want only comes with the SKS/SVD scope mount, and it supposedly won't mount on the Saiga's AK rail! How hard is it to change the rail on the side of a Saiga to one of the SKS/SVD rails? Has anyone done this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kalinka sucks. Thanks Vjor. Have you had bad experiences with Kalinka? I wanted their PSO 2.5x18 with 12 degree field of view for my Saiga .223. The low magnification and wide field of view seem perfect for that kind of rifle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SaigaShooter 0 Posted October 28, 2004 Report Share Posted October 28, 2004 I purchased my mount from kalinka, no problems at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gandalf 0 Posted October 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Well, I've done my research and it looks like I can get the scope I want and replace the clamp on it for about $12. No big deal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vjor 2 Posted October 29, 2004 Report Share Posted October 29, 2004 Yes I had have problems with Kalinka two times, they lie to me and I do not do business with people that lie, instead of coming right out front and tell me. Well I hope you find what you were looking for, one suggestion if you have the money, the Russian cobra collimator is the best for close quarters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well I hope you find what you were looking for, one suggestion if you have the money, the Russian cobra collimator is the best for close quarters. Thanks again everyone. I want something that has a little magnification to take advantage of the .223's inherent accuracy (and compensate for my less than perfect eyesight) while still providing a good field of view. Cobra sights are sure useful, but don't provide any magnification at all. The 4X sights are ok, but they restrict the field of view more than I prefer. Vjor, I'll take your experience into consideration. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
