BaikalsRule90 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 well... ill start off my baikal is my first and only gun, i bought it new for £360 at a clay ground in cornwall (cart-ridge), (12g singe trigger...yada yada yada) unfortunately the "new gun smell" has worn off but the gun is serving me well and the way it is built i think it will serve me forever i mainly use it for pigeons but have also used it on my beaters day. all replys welcome baikalsrule90 (subtle username) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taff Mason Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 i have a baikal .410, very happy with it. cost me £120 new!!!! never missed a beat and as you said will probably last me a life-time. i would definately buy a 12b baikal, but i have enough guns for the time being and i need a serious clay gun next.

mr smith Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 i have a baikal comes with 2 sets of barrells,single trigger e/j very good nic, and very clean. Twice,first time bought from a mate's dad had it for a few years,sold with the rest of my stuff when i packed in all my shooting after the pistol ban. Bought another second hand from a gun shop when i returned to the fold only lasted a day as i noticed a bulge in one of the barrels when i cleaned it.

fieldwanderer Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 (edited) a mate of mine had one, an o/u which I was meant to be getting off him when I got my license. A few days before my license came through he was out shooting with it, as he "broke" it, both hammers came foreward and both barrels went off - gun pretty much exploded and he ended up with a bruise 12" X 6" bruise accross his stomach Scarey! Up until then though - fantastic bit of kit apart from being a bit too light Edited April 6, 2009 by fieldwanderer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnGalway Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 My first gun, and only shotgun, is a Baikal MP-153. No cycling problems, no messing about with the gas regulator, just load, shoot and be happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zapp Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 My first shotgun was a Baikal O/U NE choked 3/4 and full ZB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 I have a baikal ejector o/u cost me £100 two summers ago. As has been mentioned they are tightly choked! It's great because you don't feel guilty if you go through hedges with it, or don't clean it after every outing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
