So I've decided that my next purchased firearm will be a Saiga rifle. But I've hit a bit of a problem. I cannot for the life of me decide what caliber to get. I've narrowed it down to either 7.62x39, .223, or 5.45x39. But I can't decide. I need the ammo to be both cheap and available. My first choice was 7.62x39 because it's the classic AK round. But I've been thinking more about .223 because I've heard rumors that it can shoot 5.56 NATO also. If this were true, surplus 5.56 is cheaper than 7.62x39 from what I've seen. And then there's 5.45x39. The reason I'd do that is the ability to easily modify AK 74 mags to work with the rifle, and the ammo isn't expensive either. So I've come to you guys. Anyone who owns one feel free to tell me your thoughts on your respective caliber. Thanks in advance.
