The Dems are coming, supply is dwindling, prices are rising out of sight:

ADD Version: I have a chance to get either a SAIGA .308 or .223. which one should I get? I likely need to decide by
COB tomorrow.

The gun will be used for target shooting, no hunting, and if the balloon ever goes up, defense.
I will probably modifiy it, nothing hugely fancy, but keep it compliant of course.

Long Version: I went to a gun store with a friend and they had a few SAIGAs that came in. Being a fan of Russian guns etc, I was interested. I bought an S-20 and my friend got a 7.62x39 and a .223

The shop has one .223 for $379 and one .308 with solid stock for $525 (I think). Im thinking of going back tomorrow and purchasing another. I was leaning toward the .223 which they are holding, but after reading this sight a bit Im leaning toward
the .308 (if its still there).

Which is the better gun?, easier to mod? Is there a better choice between the 2?

I don't think that .223 is half the fun of .308. If you shoot in speed competitions though, the .308 isn't going to treat you as well.

308 - more expensive ammo, longer range, good for hunting and target shooting
223 - slightly less expensive ammo, less good for hunting, more common ammo . . .

I bought the 308 first then the 223

308 is more impressive, and unique

I'd say .308. It can down anything.

I'd say .308 as long as you plan to replace the stock trigger.

thanks guys. the .308 was spoken for when I went back so I got the .223 and an S-12 they overlooked in the back and happened to find while getting the box for the .223. (I gave back the S-20 and took the S-12)

now I search on how to customize em

Search for a .308!

I'd buy both and moly the gun up and the trigger too. www.tsmoly.com

I bought both after shooting the 308 saiga i went back and got the saiga in 223 too.
