In fact,if I bought any sort of saiga it would be a 308 or a shotgun.
Reason being, I already have fun guns with larger cap magazines..I just think a 308 saiga would be an excellent poor man’s survival rifle.
I live in the burbs, I don’t think I’ll ever need more than 200-300 yds field of fire in any direction. A saiga .223, a Ruger PC9, a couple of 12 ga. pumps and a pair of Ruger hi-cap nines plus assorted .38s should do it.
