    Mounting optics on a Saiga

    I have a converted Saiga and have had both a Russian 6x PSO scope, and a Russian Kobra red dot sight on it, both of them using the normal AK optics rail on the side of the receiver. My thoughts? Both of them were very heavy, and the Kobra wasn't nearly as bright as a BSA I saw at the range...
