I took my Saiga 12, skeet shooting a month ago. The way the factory sights are make it tough for wing shooting, so I didn't do to well with it at first. A week before my pheasant trip, I decided to mill down the rear sight so that I only saw the front sight like a traditional shotgun. After I did this I painted the front bead red with some of my wifes nail polish.

This modification is what did it for me. Now its sights are just like my other shotguns, and I shoot skeet with it very well now. I placed second in a skeet competition the night before our hunt, so I had plenty of confidence to run it the next day.

Some pics

nice job man! good looking rooster there too.

Beware, some fudd is going to complain that "you should be more ethical", there's a thread in the bullpup section about a KSG taking a pheasant that a Fudd shit all over

Nice pics. Saiga 12s make fine hunters. I use my converted S12 for grouse hunting all the time. I bought it specifically to hunt with.

Awesome. Nice work. I've been thinking of adding one to the collection for hunting.
