Anyone hunting with a Saiga?

[bowhunter57]

I've been doing some research on the Saiga rifles from E.A.A. They offer some good calibers, but before I get too far into all that....Is there anyone hunting with a Saiga rifle?
How are they for reliability, accuracy, etc.?

Coyotes and groundhogs would be the critters I'd hunt with this rifle. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Your opinions and experience is appreciated.
Thank you, Bowhunter57

BH57,
I looked into them last winter, also, and will report this about them that I found out. Yes, they are inexpensive but they look it, too. Mounting a scope may give you some problems as it is a side mount setup. From all accounts that I've read, and there is a website devoted to Siaga's, they shoot well and reliable but expect about 2 minutes of accuracy out of them. Hope that give you a bit more light on the subject. I'll continue to save for a better simiauto myself.
