DrThunder88 912 Posted October 4, 2012 Report Share Posted October 4, 2012 I've got one of the cheaper ones on mine, but it's a good choice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Unknown Poster 5 Posted October 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) I think if the saiga in 308 with no scope is accurate why not put a good scope on it. I haven't shot the 22" barreled saiga in 308 yet with the south african 308 ball ammo. But once its certain its as accurate as my 16" barrels i will put a decent scope on it. This will be one of my new hunting rifles. I have a saiga in 223 scoped that i haven't shot yet too. I had to play with the side lever scope to finally get it to lock up the way it should but it is rock solid now. It takes a little time to get it right.

Unknown Poster 5 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Well i just broke down and ordered the kalinka scopemount for my saiga today. Now i need a scope for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I decent quality 3x-9x would suit the range pretty decent, I keep a 2.5 shotgun scope on mine normally. You'll want to confirm that none of the mounting gear wiggles at all, sometimes they can feel tight but still have some movement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Unknown Poster 5 Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 (edited) he I ordered the kalinka mount its the VOMZ-AK side mount 1" rings #AMSASM12 for $79.97. The fit is awesome much tighter than the czech scope i had on it. I just ordered a Bushnell Banner scope for it. I have other bushnell scopes that are over 10 yo now and there still great. Plus there very clear and bright in the low light conditions when i hunt. I just ordered another one of these mounts for my saiga in 223 to replace the czech mount/scope.

Unknown Poster 5 Posted November 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) The bushnell banner scope came in black matte so it looks perfect on the black saiga. It looks great in matching colors. The scope with the kalinka russian mount went together perfectly too. No hassle dialing it in with the chamber lazer bore sighter too. The BDC adjusted dead on at 100yds. Edited November 9, 2012 by Unknown Poster Quote Link to post Share on other sites
