Ok, I finally took my Saiga 12 out for some real shooting last night...
What a disappointment. Every other shot jammed (shell failed to completely eject) and aiming was difficult due to the poor sights (the sights are somewhat high). Out of 5 rabbits seen, only 3 were sent to their eternal reward.
So what is the deal with the ejecting? I was using regular game load 2 and 3/4 inch 12 guage shells. The manual said it would specify on the receiver or barrel whether it fired 2 /34 inch or 3 inch shells, but I could see nowhere on the gun where it said anything about ammunition size.
So I just used 2 3/4 inch shells to be safe.
As for aiming, what do you guys reccomend? The receiver has a side mount (its basically an AK receiver). Should I go for some kind of laser sight maybe?
