chrstn_olsen 0 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Just got the message from the dealer that my Saiga 223 has arrived. Will be getting it Sunday and I can't wait. I will make sure to post pictures as soon as possible. Thank you alle for providing lots of reading during the wait for my new gun. C Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bohound 281 Posted January 21, 2011 Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 Another .223 noob! Welcome to the club, feel free to ask questions and share experience! I think you're going to find that this chambering of the Saiga is great! Enjoy your new addiction! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chrstn_olsen 0 Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Havent had the time to take pictures yet, but a positive surprise when I picked it up was that the barrel was significantly fatter than the model I handled before ordering. The test target says 91mm but I am looking forward to seeing what it can do with a scope and handloads. I think my Mini-14 is going to spend a lot less time on the range now Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You will find that is a chore in itself to catch them, let alone try to resize them when the casing is bent in half. You will see what I mean the first time you fire it. You could just buy new brass each time though. I would be interested to see what you could pull out of these rifles in regards to accuracy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
