Saiga's shoot sub-MOA with cheap ammo???for say 400 bucks you can pick up a saiga .223 and for the same amount of $600 bucks including initial cost of the rifle you can convert it. Slap a decent scope on that thing and it will be far more accurate than any .22 out there.
Different rifles for different purposes. That same $368 you spend on 1000rds of .223 can be spent on 10-11,000rds of bulk .22LR. That's a lot of shooting for dirt cheap. I love my M&P15, it's a wonderful shooter and does shoot MOA with Federal XM193 but I still do a hell of a lot more shooting with my rimfires. It's taken me six months to burn around 1000rds through it, while I've shot 2000rds of .22LR in just the last two weeks.
