New models of Saiga rifles?


Recommended Posts

a few months ago, Legion USA (Legion's USA division) had a site up that had at least 30 models of saigas available for import. Was like seeing hardcore porn for the first time. was sooo awesome now its down or moved and i cant find it again.

 

the models they showed had various front end assemblies packages. variations in handgaurds, upper rails, and small things of the sort. all were showing sporter stocks or skeleton stocks.

wat we need is one in 7.62x54 r

I'll second that and give it a "Damned Straight!

 

According to the ATF's own findings in their 'Study of Importability', we should see Sporters with pistol grips.

Has anyone seen or heard of new model Saiga rifles being imported in the near future? I have seen mention on other forums that the recent price decreases are to prepare for new models, but there were no details or pictures.

Yes a .243 Win model.

HOLY SHIT! a 243 saiga! wow me and a buddy have talked about this many times. That is frikkin awesome! So now we need a 243 section and i need to know conversion details because this is a must have!

 

So any idea if some one has these in stock yet?

Just as soon as one of the contract importers places an order for a few. A poll thread might catch some attention and speed up the process.

 

 

i hope it doesnt turn into the situation with the .22s. the importers and izhmash could never settle on a price that made both of them happy.

I do like the new saigas coming in with front sight & AK-style HG's ....love that!

Goodness they just need to put the grip & bullet guide on it so they'll be good to go right out of the box!

 

If I knew the Vepr in either .308 or 54r would be a true 1MOA or less rifle... they'd be an option for me. But I was slightly disappointed in my Saiga Ver21's accuracy. Maybe it was my optic or the scope mount on the side rail, but sometimes it would do funny things. It would do good with cold-bore shots, but once things heated up a bit things started to get a little iffy.

No AK variant will ever be a 'True' 1 MOA or sub-MOA rifle, they're just not designed for it, neither is the likes of other well regarded semi-auto rifles, e.g. Springfield M1A.

I'm completely satisfied with my ver.21's average 2-3 MOA using plain'ol Tula steel cased ammo, feed it good commercial and she is a solid 2MOA.

 

I'm jonesing for something that'll reach out and hold that 1MOA, gonna have to be my first bolt gun, gonna likely be a Remington 700 VTR in .308.
