Optics for my 22" barreled 308 saiga??


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

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.
