i just got back from the range with a saiga 20. the problem i had was that every mag i had at least one fte or stove pipe condition. the ammo used was low brass winchester trap & target loads. i tried both settings on the gas regulator. #1 would not extract the empty hulls. position 2 worked the best. out of 100 rounds fired i only had one complete mag cycle. has anyone else had this problem? sunday i will return to the range with buckshot or at least some high brass field loads to see if this will help. |

i wanted to get one in .410 or 12 gauge but i had to settle for 20 gauge. it has a bit more kick to it than i had anticipated and that was just from the low brass. the shotgun is balanced quite well, followup shots were quick. i was at a indoor range shooting about 30 feet. the shot pattern was very tight. if everything goes okay with the high brass then i would recommend this shotgun. the only other bitch i have is the fixed full choke. it seems to be way to constricted to shoot slugs safely. i will probably cut 1 or 2 inches off. this will leave me with at least a 20 inch barrel. i don't think this will mess with the pattern too much. |
