thinking about the next purchase. I'm considering a Saiga in 223. does anyone have experience or have a range report? I would expect it to outshoot the 7.62x39 Saiga (at least thats the hope).
saigas are damn fine rifles...their stocks are some of the worst ive ever seen on a gun. the stock on my daisy 1000x air rifle is better. if i had to describe the plastic on a saiga stock... milk jug plastic would come to mind.
I don't disagree in general to this statement, but I guess it needs to be placed into perspective - my Saiga 223/7.62x39/308 will shoot damn near as accurately as a bone-stock Ruger 77MkII or Win70 or the like when loaded with the same ammo.Expect between 2-4moa. If the rifle is a diamond in the rough and you use premium ammo (like Black Hills or Federal Gold Medal Match), perhaps 1.5.
