jerry52 893 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 After converting my 223 Siaga with a tapco saw grip, folding stock and single hook g-2 trigger , and then spending hours polishing the trigger and action the wife and I took it to the range to test it out . Starting out with 193 federal 556 to russand zink coated TAP 223 it ran better than I ever dreamed. Very Low and I mean very low recoil. So low the wife who is 4'11" put down her S&W 40 C and said let me shoot it and she loved it but the stock was to long. This is a great gun and will be better when I get my threading gear and flash hider from Dinzag . The G2 trigger as i said is polished is super smooth for a single stage trigger ,so smooth you forgot about it and just ran the gun, the way it should be. 7 diffrent brands of ammo from brass to steel and it ate it all. Was thinking about a J-TAG compensater but Why? I Love this Gun runs perfect 1.5 moa at 100yards. Thanks to all the good posts that helped me get er done. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brian M1 50 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Congrats! You have a winner there! As soon as I get my failure to ejects sorted out, I'll feel the same! Yes, the recoil of the .223 (or even 5.56 Nato if you chose to use that) is pathetic. It's awesome for a new shooter! This rifle is a robust design and you made a great decision!

Dad2142Dad 6,559 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Just remember if you put an adjustable stock on for the wife, you'll never get the rifle back 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jerry52 893 Posted July 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 I know what you mean. never shot a rifle in her life and after the third roun smack dab in the center of the target. she has that natural feel to shoot. And she can cook to! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darko 42 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 thats why I don't let my wife shoot my guns. "Get your own rifle woman!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unclejake 428 Posted July 22, 2012 Report Share Posted July 22, 2012 Congrats on your converted rifle! My "first" Saiga was a .223 and I love it. I did the same with polishing the FCG, and like yours it shoots so smooth, everybody around wants a try with it...especially when the Betamag is inserted! LOL They may not be as light as an M4, but they are a robust rifle, and the weight really tames what little recoil there is down bigtime! Enjoy it and start figuring out which of the others will be your next, cause it will happen..they are an addiction!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
