Bean.223 365 Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Seems like a great deal to me. Im pretty sure the x39 Saiga is in short supply at the moment. If for nothing else you could buy it for 320 and sell it for over 400 easy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RomyG 0 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 (edited) Pretty good price for what they are going for now. Go for it. If you decide not to keep it sell it and make a profit. Win Win Edited February 23, 2009 by RomyG Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vultite 57 Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 i've seen that most dimpled receivers were made in 06, mine is as well, i dunno if there are any other years where dimpled trends came around. I don't believe the gun's value differs from which year it was produced, but then again, true value is only what people will pay for it, and people seem to pay a little more for the dimples.....i'd take what you can get right now for a decent price if you really want it. But, as far as conversions go, the dimpled receiver guns do NOT have PG holes pre cut in them, so it's a little more difficult to do Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rubicon923 0 Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 i went ahead and bought got it for 310.00 not dimple. but it did have scope mount on side You done good. I bought the identical used rifle a week ago for $325 which I consider a good price. I didn't have to think much before buying it. The cheapest new versions I've seen have been from Gilbert's Guns for $440, $480 once I add in shipping and transfer fee at my FFL. My rifle has the "Scottsburg" marking on it too, but had a 2006 receiver just like my other Saiga's. My rifle was obviously used, but didn't seem to have a lot of rounds through it. Shot it last week for the first time and it shot well. The dimpled receivers are relatively rare and all my Saiga's have the scope mount on the side. You got a good price on a great rifle.
