bengals86 0 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Can anyone recommend a scope for my Saiga 223 for 100-200 yard target shooting that is not to expensive? The rail mount I have is the UTG AK/Saiga Quick Detach Picatinny Rail Mount. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Kenny 144 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Leupold Mk AR 1-4x. It's probably a bit more than you want to spend, but it's tough and very clear. Next choice would be a Vortex 1-4x. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IndyArms 10,186 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Barska huntmaster 1.5 to 6. It has a 42 millimeter objective and a 1 inch tube. It's got a 3030 retical with etched center illuminated crosshairs. I mounted mine today. went to the range and had it zeroed in about 10 shots, shooting a 1.5 inch group at 100 yards. I was shooting 52 grain, dogtown, hollow point reloads. It stuck 10 rounds in about an inch and a half circle! Not too bad as far as I am concerned, it shot pretty nice! Pics to soon follow.

vintagedude88 16 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 I have a Leapers 1-4x28 Accushot. Works great and has been solid for me for two years now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GregM1 241 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) what length stock do you have? that can make a difference on eye relief needs if you are using a side rail mount. with a modified saiga you need a short eye relief scope. I have a russian 3-9x scope with a 2" eye relief. it works ok at the 9x setting with a warsaw length stock but is a bit difficult to focus in. i am going to try a Nato length and that should correct it.

I just stuck a UTG Rubber Butt recoil pad around $12US it gave the extra length I needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
