There’s a puff piece post at Ammoland dubbed “The Superiority of the Saiga Autoloading Shotgun” that sings the high praises of the Saiga 12-gauge autoloader. The gun is one of the more popular “alternate” designs for shotguns out there and the article touts the accuracy and reliability of the gun. But as someone who has owned a Saiga and has just seen the best competition shooters in the world try to run them in a competition, I call bullshit . . .
Read the comments and the follow up article’s comments. Basically the author gets taken apart and shown to be an idiot.
I’ve not had any trouble with my Saiga 12, but I’m sure you saw what you saw. That said, a Saiga with a 20 or 33 round drum give me more firepower than I could have, short of an NFA weapon.
