I don't own the S12, but do have the S20 and love it to death. Reliable and an awesome overall gun. I just wish they'd make as many accessories for the S20 as they do for the S12.
Expect to play close to a grand probably. That's if you can find one. You probably already knew that though since most people like to research things out before buying another gun lol

Great gun. Mine feeds and cycles everything I've fed it.
More info: http://forum.saiga-12.com Good luck finding one.

If you can find it then buy it.
It is one of the most fun guns I own. Love the looks when I take it to shoot trap. Maybe I will shoot sporting clays with it tomorrow everyone looks like this  when you slap a 10 round mag in the thing.

Love mine. There are a few on Gunbroker, but most of the country is out of stock. Expect to pay $800+ these days.

Saiga 12
I didn't shoot it, but a guy at our club was shooting one about a month a go. He was looking for a drum mag, but was only using the AK stick mags. Gun functioned fine from what I saw. He tried hitting a few clays but couldn't hit any. He told me he paid close to $600 from Gilberts Guns out of Frankfort, KY. He said the 12 is not easy to find and is $$$$$ vs the .20 and .410 models.
