danielcoins 0 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 (edited) I ordered the 16" synthetic from Gun envy store, mainly as they would reply to my emails within the hour. (they were also the cheepest, $9.00 shipping coming to a total of $466.45 minus my ffl fees and whatnot) ofcorse well have to see if cheepest is better. Anyways... i was looking and cant tell if the saiga in general comes with a side plate for mounting the side scope mount or should i go ahead and order them both? Sucks that the hirtenberger 7.62 cases are sold out from aim, looks like im going with the british radway (and some overpriced walmart ammo for day 1.) My buddy has the saiga 20 and i was wondering if the felt recoil was roughly the same as the .308? hopefully in two weeks ill have a pic up and range report.

paprotective 362 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Yes Saiga's come with the side-rail to mount up the scopes and such.. Congrats.. Al Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rhodes1968 1,638 Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 You will have a bit more recoil and some fireball if you use it in the low light hours and of course a tad less fps. For a lighter weapon its an even trade. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

danielcoins 0 Posted August 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2010 Got IT!!! Came in today, took lunch break to pick er up. Everything appears to be in order, couple scratches and dings, ill blame fedex on that (we dont get along) Headed out to do some shooting right now and will wright back if she functions well. All I can say right now is it was super fast shipping and customer service was on point, if she at least functions I will give a +2 to Gun Envy... was kind of scared when I went to pick her up, when the lady pulled the case out of the shipping box there was a hole in it where the bolt handle poked through, but am over that, my girl musta went on a bumpy ride!

danielcoins 0 Posted August 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 WOOOOO!!! wow, what an ear ringer!! at 35 yards, was hitting just where we were aiming, corse it was a barn and yes it was the broad side. Flawless function, 20 rounds, am a happy camper One question tho, who would ever use the cleaning rod that comes with her? like "heres a steel cleaning rod attachment... go ahead and f-ug up your riffleing" lol! was sharp too Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Clean a AK? Huh? You ain't going to fuck up that chrome lined barrel/rifling, crown maybe, rifling no... Not unless you bend the rod/cleaning attachment all to hell, and then use it anyways. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
