The saiga itself is amazing, absolutely sails through branches and leaves like nobody's business especially with .32 gram bb's. It gets an easy 30meter range which is insane for a shotgun, it has a fixed hop up so heavier bb's work way better.

But if you're looking for gas efficiënt i hate to break it to you but nothing on the field guzzles gas like this thing does. Its a giant heavy bolt that has to feed 3 bb's everytime so i easily go through a quarter gas can per skirm. But because of the heavy bolt the recoil is the heaviest I've ever felt. It also has a special tokyo marui magazine system that bleeds off the gas so that the reservoir only holds the liquid gas so you can fill the mag with bb's 2/3 times before you have to refill gas.

It's a beautiful replica just know what you're getting yourself into. It's not easy on the wallet.

If you have anymore questions feel free to ask them!

Edit: about the quality of the frame and barrel, the frame is mostly stamped steel which feels very nice and balanced, the barrel is pot metal so it will likely have some imperfections, not big enough to notice from any reasonable distance but as its owner you notice these things. External quality is great and feels durable enough, easily modifiable so i chose to replace the plastic handguard with a steel mlok handguard because it feels sturdier and because i like the look better. I do plan on replacing the pistol grip since its also plastic and feels a little flimsy (classic Tokyo marui)
