i dont see a real reason to skeet shoot with a tactical shotgun

What's tactical about a stock Saiga 12? In stock form, the only "tactical" difference between this and say an 1100/11-87 or a 930 is the removable magazine.

I dont see the point at shooting paper with one of these

i still dont see the logic in a tactical shotgun as a skeet gun... and my .308 is not for shooting paper

the answer.. extremely simple and logical.. for me at least..

 

I might want to shoot skeet one day.. might just want to give it a try.. would not run out and buy a shotgun just for something I might do once or twice..

since I own a Saiga 12.. I might ask.. is this gun appropriate for this? while there may be better options I am essentially asking if I can just use a gun I already own to try something new..

It throws up a shot pattern, right? So while it may not be optimal, it will certainly bust clays if you do your part.

Hey Folks,

Not exactly the same thing, but I shot Sporting Clays more then a few times with a H&K Benelli M1 Super 90 Tactical. My boy shot right along side of me with his Remy 870 Tactical. It was a lot of fun, and any time you are busting caps, it's a good day. We gave the guys rocking mission specific guns a good run, too...

Why? It's fun, inexpensive, and additional familiarization with the given weapon...

More specifically...

well i got it today...aside from the cheap crappy stock, it is freeking amzing...

 

One night this week when you are sitting down wathing TV, put the gun in your nahds and rack the action 100-200 times. The Saiga really needs some smoothing to run nicely. I got the Pauls Glass Bolt Special and had it professionally done.

After that, see what kind of ammo you can run on setting one. If you can shoot birdshot on setting 1, you are overgassed. If you can't even shoot birdshot with setting 2, then you are undergassed (which is the more likely of the two), The smoothing and a better adjustable gas plug is usually the remedy.

I threw on an MD Arms adjustable gas plug ($25) and can run anything through my Saiga-12.

 

Have fun. Everyone that sees you shooting it will want to try it.

yea, i want to get another for my wife..maybe a 410 or 20 gauge.

I checked it over and it has good clear ports on the gas tube so it should work good. I was thinking of sending the bot out for polish

I am pretty sure these are gonna get banned...so i have to get in gear i am sure

      What should we expect........

      I dont get the "unrestricted " part.  He should know that they are not restricted.  Maybe a few yrs ago if you worked for an armored car service but I believe that no longer applies.  I could be wrong...

      An NJSP Trooper pulled me over a few weeks ago. My setup is I carry at about 3:30 IWB under a shirt and almost always wear cargo pants. My wallet lives in my left side thigh pocket and my IFAK is in my right side thigh pocket. I have a folding knife clipped on my right front pocket, spare mag in a neomag clipped to left side front pocket and a flashlight in a pocket designed for a cellphone at the left front of my pants (forward of the regular front pocket). When he got to the passenger side window he was already starting his routine so I interrupted him and told him that I had a carry permit and was currently armed. He stopped his spiel and asked where it was. I told him holstered on right hip. His response - OK no problem.  Then he wanted my DL & insurance. He asked me where they were. I told him left side thigh pocket for the DL and insurance was in the glove box. He said keep my hands on the wheel while he moved to the driver's side window. Then he asked me to get my DL. I'm not sure why he moved to the nearer window. I gave him my DL then he wanted the insurance so I got that from the glove box. He went back to his car to run them. He was just about at his car when he came back and asked to see my PCH. I showed him and he said I was lucky to have an unrestricted one. He handed it back and went back to his car. Quite quickly he came back and told me I was getting a warning for my speed. In parting he thanked me for the way I handled myself during the stop, but did not elaborate. I deliberately keep my wallet in my left side thigh pocket so it is nowhere near my gun for situations just like this. I think his parting comment was related to that as I didn't have to furkle around near my gun for anything during the stop.
