MindRiot 83 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I have mixed feelings about it, if they adopt a new rifle and IZH is gonna make them depending on the military contract that could seriously slow export production down. Only time will tell I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If that turns out to be the case, we should see supply rise and demand drop.... That's what I was thinking...although they do also make a 30.06 bolt action.

Mullet Man 2,114 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 (edited) http://www.izhmash.r...ct/weapon.shtml On the Izhmash website, the Saiga is under the "hunting guns" section. Time will tell. EDIT; I wouldnt mind seeing a few other examples of Saiga's (different caliber bolt guns etc.) being more readily available either tho.
