Cannon Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 hi anyone got one of these? a baikal under and over 12 gauge. they seem good value for money second hand. Heven't got one but used to use one regularly for clays. Found it to be a great gun to shoot. Didn't look the nicest of the bunch but it was built to last, like all Baikals.

blowin Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 I've got one in fantastic condition. If you live anywhere near Stevenage then I'd be happy to sell it to you when your SGC turns up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodcock1 Posted December 7, 2011 Report Share Posted December 7, 2011 They are a bit like landrovers, you either love them or hate them. Ive still got my landrover but the baikal had to go. My thumb was red raw putting the safety catch off. It was a thing with teeth like a barracuda. Very reliable and shot well. They are made from ww2 russian tanks melted down and tran siberian railway sleepers for stocks you know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colster Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 A friend who has a number of shotties including an Aya, Benelli Semi, 2 Berettas and a Bettinsoli also has a Baikal OU. Typically when we go rough shooting or ferreting it's the Baikal that comes out the cabinet for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poorpeet Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Had one as my first shot gun. Great bit of kit wish I'd kept it now. They tend to be quite tightly choked so may be somthing to consider if using it on a clay ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian750 Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Yes, only shottie I own and I love it. All my shooting is rough shooting so it's absolutely ideal for me. Ditto the post above about the chokes, mine's half and full, in an ideal world it would probably be quarter and half, but it really doesn't worry me that much. Would I buy it again? Oh yes indeedy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruddyhellfire Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 Same as above had mine for years. Starded out as my first O/U for the odd beaters day game shooting then used it for clays when i got started on them. Its a little on the heavy side and as above most of them are choked up. I think mines 3/4 and full off the top of my head but it dose dust clays when you hit them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love mine cheap n cheerful and can shoot just as well as guns that cost thousands of pounds without the crying when it gets dirty or scratched Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerboy Posted December 8, 2011 Report Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) Sorry did not read the thread correctly "wrong Gun" Baikels are good solid guns, never owned one but have used them and never had a problem Edited December 8, 2011 by bakerboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
