THE SAIGA 12 SMOOTHBORE AUTOLOADING SHOTGUN is designed for professional and sport hunting and small and medium-sized game under various climactic conditions. It features a 12-gauge barrel with chamber, providing for shooting shot and slugs, including magnum, with a shotshell length of 2 ¾" and 3". The shotgun is characterized by high reliability in harsh environments, and is capable of delivering single-shot fire and is reloaded automatically due to the energy of the powder gases, escaping from the barrel bore to the gas cylinder and the energy of the spring as well.
