The factory saiga mount Timattalon is a good option if it works-I have three and one is useless from new due to pointing the scope so far in the wrong direction. The other potential issue with them is they give you very little fwd or back option with your scope to set eye relief. But if it's in spec and works with your chosen scope they are very solidly made and at the price offered would be unbeatable. They are a all in one unit-you don't need anything else.

I'd would agree with the forward / back comment, and yes with them being all in one with rings they are a bit lighter than the piccatinny and ring type. Have not come across any that did not line up yet but all the ones we have sold so far have gone with the rifles they came in with. The few I have were where someone swapped the mount out for an extra magazine which is how we ended up with spares. I think there may actually only be one but I am yet to locate it. It may well be for the M100 version which is a bit lower and angled forwards more.
