Saiga 12 for trap

[stix213]

My Saiga 12 with 22" barrel and adjustable polychoke hits clays just fine all day. Reloading is also not difficult. I generally just flip out my wave opening EDC knife and activate the mag release with it. If I was rushed for time I can swap the mag out and chamber a round in about 2 seconds. I don't do regulation trap, so not sure how I'd do with it, but just out shooting clays with my buddies I typically get around 90%.

Hell, I know a guy that can throw rocks and hit clays tagrets, that doesn't make it the best way to break them.

I love saiga 12s (own 4 of them) but its far from an ideal clay weapon

Reloading makes it a pita......which is why I'm usually sporting my Beretta A400 xtreme or my o/u

I used my EO tech equipped akdal 1919 to bust some clays this weekend, much easier to do mag changes...compared to a S12....

I shoot at regulation trap with .410. Shooting clays at the 16 yd line is tough but im averaging 15-18 clays out of 25 with it whereas im hitting 23/25 with my 12 gauge autoloader with an ejector akin to a booster rocket. Thank god for shell catchers. Anyway i digress. Im not a fan of the snooty shooters either and thats why i try to shoot my .410 in their squad. Its fun as long as you dont be rude or interrupt their routine.

That's awesome. I wish I could break the double digit mark with my .410s. Then again, I've only shot two rounds with my 870 and none with my other .410s. I can break birds nonstop at Angeles with any of my .410s. That extra 16 yards sure makes a difference. I did break a couple birds in the #5 position of a skeet range with my Routledge (.22lr smoothbore) once. But, I only took about 10 shots with it. It was at my first skeet clinic and the only time I've ever tried skeet. I did shot a 12g for the clinic.

As long as you are being safe, who cares if you piss off the duck hunters and master clay blasters. If they are not at risk of being harmed they should mind their own business and stop being such whiny little b*tches.

I care, because I WANT to piss them off then educate them once I have their attention. I want Fudd mentality eradicated from the gun owning ranks.

You can't stop insane people from doing insane things. Mind your own business.

True but mixing it up and doing something beyond the norm is a good thing. That's how innovation happens. You never know what someone could come up with next.
I like to piss off the old farts when I bang steel at 100yards off hand right after said old fart told me I couldn't hit the side of the hill with my AK. Talk smack about my crappy CZ, so i'll hit the 100 yard steel with that, next the same thing with the Saiga 12.
If you don't kick that line and try something different, you never know what your capable of.

No doubt, I don't think its insane I was just quoting the guys signature who was complaining about people having fun at the range with different toys.

I know trap shooters who cry like little girls at the sight of a Rem 1100. They'd stroke out at the sight of that thing.

Why do you think I'm so tempted to show up at a skeet clinic with my evil, black, russian, cylinder bore, muzzle brake'd, foregrip'd Saiga 12?

Who knows if I'd do good or suck, but it'd be fun.

Most ranges have rules regarding barrel lengths, PGs, etc. So, chances are you would not get ro shoot it. Whether you agree with the rules or not is not really the issue. The issue is respecting the rules or opening your own range and making your own rules.

BTW, I'm not against S12s or even using them to break clays. But, I respect the rules when I'm shooting at any facility. I have shot and allowed others to shoot S12s and AOWs at my home but, I would never expect guns like those to be welcome at every trap range.

Yes dad, I'm aware that you have to follow range rules.

Btw, I've already asked for the LA clinics and was told my Saiga was fine.
