I find the Saiga .223 to be a very solid gun for the money. It seems very reliable, and takes any sort of ammo i can feed it. Its not a tack driver, but will shoot close enough to the bullseye to keep one from useing bad words. All and all, it aint sexy, but a great gun to hunt or protect the homebase for those of us on a budget. Saiga is to guns what timex is to watches....they work very well at little cost.

I''m very tough on my weapons, the slightest misfire causes me to throw it in the safe and move on to another weapon. This rifle is flawless. I shot 300+ rounds of the cheapest and dirtiest rounds in it without a hitch. Highly recommended. It now sleeps under my bed.

I''m quite happy with the purchase. Went to the range today and shot 80 rounds or so, worked great with Remington UMC ammo. No misfires or misfeeds. The sights seem to require a little bit of adjustment, the shots went consistently to the right half of the target. Perhaps it''s not the original tuning, but my shooting style (or lack thereof). Also, I''m left handed, wonder if that matters? I did not know what to expect in terms of recoil - but it''s not bad at all. All in all, a great toy.
