    SAIGA IZ 20 inch barrel

    Does anybody have Saiga IZ 7.62x39 & 5.45x39 with 20" barrel?

    How are their accuracy and range in comparison to the 16" barrel? Is it better, the same, or less accurate & distance?

    Thanks!

      I haven't seen a 20"/21" Saiga in quite some time now (regardless of caliber)...

            I've got a 308 with the 21" barrel. Its plenty accurate but I don't have a 16" to compare it to. I specifically chose the 21 over the 16 to stabilize the heavier rounds.

              I had one a while back. It seemed to be about the same as a 16", but had terrible balance comparatively.

                  I don't think they import the 20" barrel anymore. I'm kicking myself for not buying one when I had the chance.

                    I have one in 5.45mm Very accurate more so than my other 5.45 AK's. It's model WPA-IZ-141 the barrel is actually 20.47" (but called 20"). It came with the Russian Dragunov type stock....It also has the square bottom type trunnion which accepts the square type bullet guide.
