Saiga 20.5" in 223 - anyone use one?

[BrocLuno]

I see these new sporterized Saiga's with 20.5" inch barrels in 223 and was wondering if you'all had experience with these? How heavy, handy, accurate are they in general? I know they need a side mount for a scope, but does that actually work out OK? How about the twist rate on their barrels?

Tell me about how they have worked out for you

Seems most of the Saiga stuff I have turned up is for models with shorter barrels. These 20.5" barrel models are on GB now.

Nobody?

I can only comment on the 16 inch barrel version.... it is a sweet rifle....mine was giving me 2 to 3 inch groups at 100yrds..... with a cheap scope.....
