hope it's ok

It's based on the 627 model and is an excellent gun. It's good in the field for rough shooting and also for pigeon/crow. The wood on it may not be the best grade, but it's okay.

I see it has ported muzzles, I'm not sure but that could be a problem when shooing in some competitions.

 

Nice looking gun though, I didnt notice how much ££ it was though?

Can't really go wrong with a Baikal, they are very reliable and well finished for the money.

I had one of the earlier models (30+ years ago) which were rather heavy and I eventually gave it to a nephew, who still uses it regularly.

The engraving on it is excellent for such a priced gun.

The models from the mid 70's onwards became much lighter.

you will never shoot it done built like a tank it will last forever.great little workhorse gun

well got my russian cricket bat as my mate calls it blody snob

spent an hour or so polishing the internals and i also shortened the ejector springs

by 3 coils so now it doesn't throw spent hulls 20 feet

put 100 shells through it on the clays today and i did rather well, it's still

very tight so it will need a bit of loosening up but first impression is of a good

solidly built (read tank like) gun, not too heavy and slightly barrel heavy

all in all i think over time it will become a nice piece, ohh and the wood has a really nice

pattern and better than i expected

let me know how it goes i may buy one aswell, so congradulations is that your first gun

If you don't mind me asking what sort of price do these go for?

[tazkb]

no not my first but the wife has nicked my bettinsoli so it's my only one

at the moment, I paid £440 new and there isn't much else around for that

even s/h at my local rfd's, it does shoot well a tad barrel heavy and a bit tight

still but will loosen up over time.

absolutely outstanding gun, last year my dad sold his beretta 687 eell because he shotl twice as good with the baikal, and for the money!! cant rate em highly enough.
