ak01q 0 Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 I have been following this for months now. Finally here. I ordered one in wood. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
000buck 0 Posted December 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2003 I got mine in yesterday. The wood Siaga is very nice looking. I thought the synthetic 308 had good ergonomics, but the wood has even better ergonomics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slingingbull 0 Posted January 14, 2004 Report Share Posted January 14, 2004 Looking to buy Saiga 308 wood from CDNN too. Would there be any reason to wait for the 223 or 7.62 to come in? Any particular reason to buy a 308 versus the other models. I own an SKS and SAR1 and want some variation in shooting experience so thougth the 308 would be added fiorepower. Any thoughts?

If you want to convert it, you can. The 308 is a 7.62x51 or 7.62 NATO. I can reach out and touch someone or something. It is more accurate and your shooting experience will more along the lines of a marksman than a grunt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slingingbull 0 Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Thanks for the input. One further question, will the 308 with a scope and bipod be a reasonable clone of the legendary dragonuv sniper? I realize the Dragunov uses 7.63x54r but wanted your insights into creating a Saigunov weapon using 308 as the punch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
000buck 0 Posted January 16, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 slingingbull, you should definitely get the 308 Siaga! I have some AKs in 762x39, and the 308 in the AK style action is a great addition, alot more power. I always thought a high powered AK would be great, and the Saiga for the price is magnificent. The 308 in wood is still pretty far off from looking like a dragonuv, but it is probably as close as you will get for under $500. Have you seen the 308 Veprs? They are closer looking, but pretty far off still, and much more expensive for not much more gun, if any. I have a x39 Vepr, and it is super nice and well finished, but doesnt function any better than a Saiga or an SAR. Regarding the Vepr 308, the mags are $40 each for 10rders!!! Here are the Veprs if you havent seen them: http://www.robarm.com/ I think the 308s start around $600, or maybe a tad more. My 762x39 was $550. Get a wood Saiga, you wont regret it!

I realize the Dragunov uses 7.63x54r but wanted your insights into creating a Saigunov weapon using 308 as the punch. I did the very thing which you are contemplating; here is my "Saigunov:" I did this .308 Saiga conversion almost three years ago, and coined the "Saigunov" term about that time. It wears a 6X PSO scope. I like to think of it as a Dragunov updated for the 21st century. It will bust the 400 yard gong dead center with Aussie F4 surplus, and bust up claybirds on the berm beneath the gong. Boringly accurate, but still fun. I get a lot of "WTF is THAT?" at the range, too. Coolness factor is off-scale. Noah Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tallyman 0 Posted November 11, 2004 Report Share Posted November 11, 2004 Does the 5 round magazine that comes with the 16" Saiga .308 fit the 22" Saiga .308? Besides barrel length and wood vs synthetic stock , what else is different between the two?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
