This Saiga-12 is nothing like you have ever seen before
In the world of competitive shooting (3 gun competition), the Russian Saiga 12 shotgun has made a name for itself. Engineered and designed with the AK-47 function in mind, this 12-gauge semi automatic shotgun gets the job done.

Watch Larry Vickers of Vickers Tactical gets a chance to shoot this sweet highly modified Saiga-12 shotgun. This particular shotgun belongs to Andrey Kirisenko, considered one of the fastest shotgun shooters in the world. This shotgun is the master blaster in the 12-gauge shotgun world. See the action here.

A5 is just as fast, and loads much quicker, even in the dark.

"Love the 12 gauge. Makes the 11 gauge look like a cap pistol."

I heard the Vepr-12 is better out of the box...

Looks like that Saiga has a Kobra sight on it.

One of the worst decisions I ever made was selling my A5.

I just ordered a Benelli Super Black Eagle II. Anxious to get it.

Two thumbs up on the Vepr- mine rocks. Every single one I’ve seen in person has a crooked optic rail though- I hear they like drinking in Russia....

I grew up in the hills of Tennessee and had an uncle who was the local constable. He carried a sawed off 10 gauge shotgun and I remember seeing him shoot a 3” tree in half with one shot. I have loved shotguns ever since and I so miss my Sweet 16 I had as a kid. They are still my goto method of cutting down saplings on my property.

I’m in the market for a Remington 1100 Trap or Competition Synthetic. Anyone have any feedback for someone who wants to get into competitive trap, but whose shoulder needs the gentle recoil of a semi-auto?
