Saiga review

[usmcrebel]

Anyone have any reviews on the different types of these rifles/ shotguns?
I'm looking at picking one up and @ the $400 mark hard to go wrong.
any information on them would be great...specifically personal reviews and usage reports.

I like the Saiga 12 simply because it's a freakin 12 gauge that can be modded like crazy.

I don't know much about the rifle version of of the saiga though.

Go to siga12.com. I have had my converted saiga 12 for almost 4 years, and its one of my favorite range toys.

Talk to Bob at Tromix.
$400 is a steal if it's in good shape.

is tromix a website or something?
well i think IIRC the price is 469 OTD, but i think i can get a pretty hefty discount and get it OTD at 400-425.

They know EVERYTHING there is to know about the gun. Great guys too.

I suck with it in Battlefield Bad Company 2, that's all I know.

 

[usmcrebel]

lol the saiga is beastly in that game.

 

[astrodudepsu]

Tromix is top notch.

Although I don't think you are getting OTD for $400 on a Tromix.

LOL nope i looked at their prices... I just want the platform. Kinda like buying a fox to drop in a mod motor into it. everything about it will change just slowly.

Yea. Tromix is GREAT if you have the cash upfront to buy a "turn key" saiga. But not if you are a self modder.

My next shotgun will be a saiga 12 of some kind.

Mine too. I think it'll be my next firearm purchase.

I can't go that far. I've got HK's/HK clones to buy first.

 

[ford_racer]

If I could find a buyer for my children I'd be right there with you.

You have the fever.

I almost purchased a stock saiga 12 last year at a gun show. The dealer was asking 649.00, I thought it was a good price. This year I'm buying one.

Once they do yard work and house cleaning let me know.

 

[chopps]

Absoutly love mine,

Had a guy in Tenn convert mine and besides my FNH SLP there is no other gun I would want for home defense.
tromix is good for sure but prepare to wait quite a while to get it done as he stays busy. There are others who can do just as good a job as him and in alot less time IMHO.

I have a Saiga .223 rifle, it hasn't given me any trouble in the 4 years i've owned it. I definitely want a Saiga 12 next.

 

[OhIIICobra]

I want to buy one of each... .223, 7.62 x 39, .308, and 12 Ga. They are the best bargains out there and the quality is good.

I remember when my brand new MAK 90 cost me $215 in 1994. Wish I would have picked up 10 of them at that price.

The .223 and 7.62 x 39 can be had for around $350 which is a pretty good deal.

Hmm, I'm glad this thread was posted.

My first firearm will be a shotgun, now I'm thinking, I'll start with this.

BTW, I found the base Saiga 12 for $499.99, here:
