A local gun shop has several 16" and 22" .308's at $325 for either. I never gave them a second look until today - didn't realize they were .308's honestly. I'm an AR fan by design, but these have somehow grown on me. I don't know anything about them. I'm sure there is a plethora of info on the subject out there in the matrix, but I thought I'd expose my naivity here. I beg your forgiveness for my ignorance in advance... but any helpful guidance or website referrals would be appreciated. Expected accuracy for either length - ?MOA @ 100yds? Work with any commercial .308 round (i.e. Win/Fed/Rem)? Durability - bore life-expectancy in rounds? Type of barrel steel? Noise level of 16" version? After-market triggers? Reliability issues - FTF, FTE, etc? Recoil impulse - compared to ?? Thanks folks. |

Much obliged, MRWhatAKDiscussions board this topic/question: " .308 Win and 7.62 NATO SAIGA compatiblity? As I understand things, the SAAMI specs are quite different for these two rounds. .308 Win ammo/chambers have a significantly higher pressure than it's NATO counterpart and .308 ammo is typically NOT recommended for use in weapons chambered for 7.62 NATO (FAL, VEPR, Galil etc). I was considering a .308 SAIGA and was wondering where it is named ".308 SAIGA", does this also refer to it's chamber design (.308 Win) according to SAAMI specs?" I know you answered above and I guess I mislead the intention *(unintentionally he Thanks again -w |
