lithium 0 Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 Hi guys, I just bought a 22' .308 it won't be here untill saturday so i have a few questions i hope yall can help me with. here they are...... #1 what size groupins can i expect to get at 200 yards? #2 same as above but at 300 yards? #3 how much more recoil dose it have than the 7.62? #4 How much will a recoil buffer decrease felt recoil? #5 will a flash suppressor/brake help with recoil? #6 what scope do you suggest i get for it? (i have a POSP 8x42 will that work?) #7 is 10 the largest mag they have out for it as of now? #8 how soon do you expect hi cap mag will be available? Thanks guy's. I got a good collection of saiga's going. I own a 12ga and the 7.62. I want to keep them all stock but i modifyed my 12ga stock and made it pistol grip other than that they are stock with no mod's to them. I think why modify them to AK format when you could just go buy an AK. That's just my opinion.(i have seen some nice mod's done) I think there is something about the way they look stock that makes them look mean. I think im done collecting them once my .308 arrives seeing how i have 1 of each the 12ga for the shotty and the 7.62 for the ak's and soon to have the .308 for the sniper but well see what happens. thanks for the info guy's Happy Shooting!

aka108 0 Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 The range I've used the 308 on is limited to 100 yards. With the iron sights I get 3 to 3 and a half inch groups on a good day. Bolt action 308's I have do quite a bit better. The felt recoil from the Saiga 308 is a pussy cat compared to the bolt actions. Hope to get an optical sight on the Saiga pretty soon and see if I will be able to shrink the group size. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Harpoon 0 Posted June 5, 2005 Report Share Posted June 5, 2005 My experience is limited but I think you can do substantially better than aka108 commented on with iron sights. No offense intended aka, I think it is an irons vs optics issue not your marksmanship. The time I shot mine with a scope (had to a send nice Bushnell back to Cabela's for serious problems) it seemed to group quite well, seemingly well under 2MOA.

Maniac Jack 2 Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 YEah, I've got a 22" .308 with wood stock. The ones with the wood stocks also came with a built it rubber butt pad. That butt pad helps a lot for recoil. When I fire that baby, it feels like the .22 of .308s. I don't know about groups, 'cuz I'm all about plinkin' cans and bottles, but I get real good target aquisition with my .308 with that butt pad, less than a second and I'm back on target. I have lots of fun with my .308. I look forward to huntin' with it since my hunting gun last year was an old bolt action. You will deffinitely enjoy that rifle man.

jeffmccracken 0 Posted June 8, 2005 Report Share Posted June 8, 2005 Accuracy is also going to depend on the ammo too. In my 16" with Austrailian milsurp @ 100 yards I was getting about a 2+" pattern. Then I bought some soft point Winchester ammo for deer hunting. @ 50 yards : in the same hole - at 100 yards approx 1". JeffM Quote Link to post Share on other sites
