SAIGA AK-47 based shotguns...
« on: June 30, 2004, 11:23:36 AM »
Who has them? Like them? Accessories? I know where there is a 20 ga and a .410 but would like to find a 12 ga first.  8)

SAIGA AK-47 based shotguns...

NRAJOE,
My cousin was at a sporting clays shoot when a guy was there shooting a Saiga 12 gauge and doing quite well with it too. Saiga shotguns seem to point well for most folks, but their non-traditional look keeps people away from them.

Talk to some of these guys: http://forum.saiga-12.com I'm sure they'll have some answers for you.

Good hunting, Bowhunter57

I've had a Saiga 12 ga. about a year now and enjoy it very much.  Very reliable.  Never had a FTE/FTF.  Very soft recoil too.  Points great.  I've got the 19" barrel HD gun.  The good news is they are cheap ($200-230 @ CDNN for the 22" barrel in either black or camo).  They have a chrome lined bore and are based on the AK action. The bad news is mags are expensive (approx. $24 plus S&H).  Based on my positive experience, I'm thinking of getting a second.  BTW, the .410s are on sale for $150.  They have a 19.5" barrel.  Great value in a semi-auto IMHO.  Good luck!
