Hey everyone, big fan of the forum and long time lurker.  Of everything I've ever owned, my Saigas have always been my favorite.  Currently have a 12 and 7.62x39.
 
Was wondering what you guys think should be my next Saiga? and Why?
 
Is there one that is a must have that I'm missing out on?
 
Thanks so much !!

My first choice would be the S-308 'cause they're cool, handy, CSSPECS mags are still available and the S-308 easiest of all Saigas to convert.   Plus, they are in .308 / 7.62x51.

The 5.45x39 would be my second choice,  Still lots of surplus ammo available at decent prices and plentiful surplus mags....for the time being.

I've Saigas in 12g, 7.62x39 and .308/7.62x51

 

This thread demands gun pRon

My first choice would be another 7.62x39.

I want another to do with something different with, to have as backup or to hand to someone else if the SHTF.

Also it would be backup/parts, redundancy is nice.

Second would be a 5.45x39, even though I don't really want yet another caliber to stock.

The 545's ballistic edge over the 556 wins me over, and I'd just rather have AK reliability.

Though the thought of saving money stocking ammo does make a Saiga 556 tempting.

 

If I was to get another AK shotgun, the Vepr would win hands down.

 

I sure do wish I could get a nice Russian pistol caliber carbine/SBR.

 

The Vepr .54R DMR ( as shown below) would be nice too.

I'd have to shoot for a modern SVD clone.

I'd go .308.  The extra bang for the buck is worth it and you can readily reload it.   Having the option to shoot out to 600 plus is a welcome addition.  Truly, you can't go wrong. The second choice is the 5.45.  The ammo is plentiful and I actually just saw some hornady 5.45 for sale at a local store.
