I had a Saiga I converted to the 'regular' AK configuration.
It wa alright. Not particularly accurate but always worked no matter what. Crude design, simple and inexpensively made. Adding optics required finding a side mount low enough to get a decent cheek weld. Caliber hits hard.
If I absolutely wanted to get another AK pattern rifle it would be a VZ58. Updated design and lighter but not compatible with typical AK hardware.
I ended up selling it because reloading for 223 is much easier than x39 and I didn't want to be tied down to foreign ammo sources.
