jeffreyone 0 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 My new Saiga 308 is performing as per reputation, eating anything I feed it with no malfunctions. Ready to start stepping it up. S-308 vets please advise what sight mount to use to put on Eotech 512 sight. Many thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gunfanatic 221 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Do you want a forward or rear mount? Also that eotech is going to set pretty high on your gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SOPMOD 254 Posted January 22, 2011 Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 (edited) I am about to try the TWS hinged top cover rail on mine. The Eotech 552XR308 would be better choice for a Saiga 308 though wouldn't it? check out this thread http://forum.saiga-12.com/index.php?showtopic=59837 Edited January 22, 2011 by SOPMOD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I WANT A REAR MOUNT, AND BEING LONG & TALL, HAVING THE SIGHT PRETTY HIGH OFF THE RECEIVER HAS ALWAYS WORKED WELL FOR ME SO FAR. ANY THOUGHTS? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE R308--THANKS. LOOKED AT IT ON EOTECH SITE. I LIKE THE RETICLE ON THE 512 A LOT MORE THAN THE ONE SHOWN FOR THE R308. DO YOU KNOW IF THE 512 WOULD HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE 308 RECOIL? I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT THE 308 VS. .223 TRAJECTORY DIFFERENCE, AS I INTEND THE SAIGA TO SERVE ESSENTIALLY WITHIN 150 YARD RANGE. BUT DON'T WANT THE 512 CRAPPING OUT BECAUSE NOT CONSTRUCTED FOR THE BUMPIER RIDE. THANKS! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They are constructed the same I think since they are the same price, the caliber specification has to do with the BDC reticule 5.56,7.63,12.7 respectively.

Boba Debt 350 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 You could try something like this, total cost is about $50 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AK question finally to draw me in.) I'm way into "Speak softly, but carry a big stick." By the way, why are my replies appearing twice, when I click on "Add reply" only once?
