Our Assessment: This semi-auto shotgun was named after the saiga antelope, an animal almost as rare as these Russian import firearms. Built on the traditional Kalashnikov-style rifles, this sporterized firearm can become a simple defense tool or just a sweet range toy. This shotgun, with its detachable magazines and tactical options, offers speed and sturdiness, even if some might say the Saiga format is a little finicky. Russian imports at the top of the desirables list since their import status was banned in 2017. Please see our photos and good luck!
