What did your Saiga 12 replace?

[JAldrich2008 28]

My Saiga-12 replaced my girlfriend.

Same here. Mine replaced my wife...

[bearpower 2]

Put the Remington 870 in the back of the safe never look back

[frowhite 7]

as the posts above said. This purchases replace the woman in my life. You might be shocked at first, but hear me out. I put a lot of thought into this choice and I have my reasons that I will list here for you.

 

1) It takes less room in the bed, hell, it does not complain if I don't let it even into the bed

2) It costs less to feed (even with the price of ammo)

3) It does not speak unless I tell it to

4) It is always ready when I am

5) It lets me dress it up any way I want

6) I can hide it from my mother without it complaining

 

 

really the list just goes on... I had no choice when I realized this

[tonyhunt 15]

Mine replaced my hands, as it is the first gun I have ever owned

[rjrivero 50]

The Saiga replaced my Nunchucks.....

 

[epbullen 21]

Mine replaced a Maverick 88 and a machete

[MIAMI VYSE 1]

it supplemented the 1964 remington wingmaster my grandfather left for me when he died, i love it (the 870) so much i probably will never shoot it because i love shooting my s-12 way too much. it kinda makes me feel bad for the 870......it was all cool and retro awesome until the coolest shotgun man has ever invented comes along....... oh well enough feeling bad time to go shoot the s-12:devil:

Just an addition, not a replacement.

benelli nova,ruger 10/22,glock 23,mossberg 935 mag. still have a glock 17 and a remington 1187 sportster these 2 are stayin' .Once u convert a s12 from stock to badass everything else is weak.

[SaigaKen 338]

Mine replaced my trusty 12 gauge Mossberg Bolt action

[oilman 0]

Displaced the Remington 870 20 gauge

[The Commodore 0]

I don't replace guns...I just give them more siblings.

 

I will only sell guns to family and maybe friends.

[Shadoh 16]

Mine replaced boredom. I needed a new project and this one is hella fun.

[ErikTaylor 41]

Mine didn't really replace anything. The S12 is in a class of it's own. Everyone should own one!

[zone1935 5]

I have a mossy 500 slug gun that is now gathering dust since my saiga goes whitetail hunting with me on the first weekend in December.

[DeerSlayer7600 20]

Mine was an addition to my collection.

[Mayor Al 41]

Although still in my arsenal (not traded or sold) I have semi-retired an old Iver Johnson SingleShot Break-top 16 gauge, A Savage short-barrel 12 gauge pump shotgun, and my M1 Carbine. All of these were considered to be the main-stays of my defense perimeter in the past. I keep a stainless 357 snubby in a bedframe mounted holster for those late-night responses to our dogs barking. The Saiga 12 has the CQ duty every night, with the snubby being the back-up.

[midnaite 43]

my saiga relaced a gsg-5, I made a trade with a guy, I hated this crappy gun.

[TARE 47]

An LCP, this is harder to pocket carry, but I'm getting the hang of it.

[Plan.B 7]

An empty space in my closet and the "spare" cash in my pocket.

 

Um, got any more ex-wife pics Heath?

LOL. This deserves a bump.

[zenman223 460]

my S-12 didn't replace anything technically but i used to keep a SR-556 hanging from the sling on a hook. last week i removed the magpul sling from the 556 along with the tac-light and put them on the S-12. put the 556 in the closet and stood the Saiga up against the wall.(too heavy for the hook) now the saiga has officially become my SHTF gun. still keep an xdm on the nightstand for the bump in the night.

 

is it unusual to keep a 17 shot .40 and a 20 round 12ga. within reach of the bed? pistol on the nightstand and shotty between the bed and nightstand. that way i have a choice depending on how loud that bump in the night is!!

My saiga 12 didn't specifically replace any one thing.

 

It's just my primary long gun. I feel pretty confident anything within 200m is still within range of it, making it pretty versatile for me. Ammo is also a lot easier to get, so naturally I have 3x the rounds through it than anything else. Never had an FTE or missfeed unless I ran the cheapest stuff I could find at walmart. So I'm pretty happy with the reliability.

 

 

Also probably my only gun I don't care about getting it dirty or bumping it into something, which makes it even further more a great replacement.

 

 

 

If all hell did break out, and I had a decent supply of ammo, I'd probably end up dragging out the MSAR... But unless it was ridiculous civilwarfare, the saiga would be ideal.

Mine was a happy addition to my collection. My 870 and 11-87 are jealous now.

[Mephis 82]

Mine replaced my trusty 12 gauge Mossberg Bolt action

 

 

If that's a rifled barrel like my 695, there's no gun in the world that can replace the mossberg bolt shotty.

 

Amazing guns!

[psl sniper 963]

my saiga replaced my fear of running out of ammo, when faced with 10 or more zombies.

(should be able to drop 20 before reloading)

Nope, smooth as a babies bottom....

 

Years ago....first time small game hunting, I had the rabbit in my sites....maybe 15 yards away....lined her up....aimed....fired

 

 

And a MISS? How could that be? Well about 10 seconds later.....all the fur started floating down from the sky.....

 

My first rabbit ballon

 

Was my grandfathers gun (1950's model I think)
