Ballistician 1 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 The other week I took a couple friends shooting. One very experienced the other person not at all. Both liked my FN SLP Mark I a lot more than my converted S12s (with 10 and 13 round mags). The FN is smooth as hell with an amazing pattern which really caught their attention. Less fun factor I think. But I guess the Saigas aren't for everyone--more S12s for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

raidersfan_5544 57 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 what size barrel do you have on your S12? You said "The FN is smooth as hell with an amazing pattern which really caught their attention". How does the shot pattern compare on both guns? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ballistician 1 Posted March 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2009 My favorite round, mostly for grins, is the Federal 3" 000. But I've compared others such as the Winchester 3" 00 and Fiocchi 2.75" The Saigas are 19" and the FN is 22". FN is a bit tighter and even spaced group (well, as much as a smoothbore shotgun can be). Nothing wrong with having several where your preference depends on mood. I'd love to get an over-under at some point though. Lame trap range restricts to 2 rounds loaded.
