Traditionally, 7.62x39 has been a little cheaper, but it is VERY hard to find right now compared to .223.

You can do a conversion on the Saiga 223 so it accepts AR-15 mags and that will save you a bunch of money. Also if you happen to have an AR-15 already your set magazine wise.
If you are hunting, 223 for more of a varmint type game and 7.62 can be used for deer as long as you're not talking long distance.
Really? I've heard people going back and forth over if it's safe to fire 5.56 out of it. My rifle and magazine both say ".223 Rem." I've been looking for something definitive over whether or not it's safe to shoot 5.56 out of my Saiga.I prefer the .223 personally. (It's actually a 5.56 chamber)

Better up close
More bullet weight. Goes through barriers better. I like that. It's a toss up anyway.Kind of ambiguous statement. How is 7.62x39 "better up close",
Great word, by the way....ambiguous
