I've sold a bunch but never fired one. Owners seem to like them. Of course, most appeared to be attracted to the detachable box magazine primarily. Da loves dem "banana clips". Don't know if they'll legally or physically accept AK furniture. But that'd be neat.

I shoot practical shotgun in the UK. The Saiga lads are still viewed with some humour as few manage to finish a round without a fail to fire or something else going wrong.

The old Saigas required you to angle the magazine in, and you had to get it right for everything to work. The new models just slip straight in and are easier to shoot.

To get one competition ready can be done but you will need to spend money on top of what is already an expensive option. Most lads opt for the Binelli M1 / M2 or Remington 1100 as there are so many add on components out there, ready to slot straight on.

Do look at them, but also consider the options.
