How to improve accuracy on a Saiga 308

[RECON762WT]

Do not have the Saiga yet.

Step 1: get the rifle
Step 2: shoot said rifle and see how reliable and accurate it is to begin with
Step 3: Report results and ask your question again

There are going to be to many variables with a saiga to chalk talk before you have actually seen how the gun preforms. You could get it out of the box, assemble all of your components and shoot 1 1/2" at 100yds with good ammo. If that is the case, awesome...you got a good shooter out of the box. -OR- you could get a vodka special and shoot 6" groups at 100yds.

After having worked on saigas you can look at them and see variances in manufacturing between two of the same caliber rifles. That doesn't mean they won't shoot MOPP (minuet of pie plate) at 100yds, but when start talking about "accuracy" you are going to see how well your specific saiga will shoot.

I had one in .308 a while back. I sold it because I didn't want to make all the changes I'd want to make it acceptable. But the main thing to me was that at the time, all you could get was 8-round mags and they were polymer. People were modifying Galil .308 mags for the Saiga, IIRC.
