i get a little mad when people bag baikal shotguns, this is mine it is a 1961 model and has never been back to a gun smith for any repairs,and is still has a very tight action it gets used all the time it is choked full and extra full and has got a lot of game. it throws
exelent patterns has killed a lot of wild pigs with buck shot .

As long as you are happy, why do you care if others don't like the gun? It's just an opinion about a gun, not a value judgment on you personally. Lighten up, guy! Life's too short to let stuff like this bug you.

dodd3,
I love the Baikal line of shotguns. I own a MP-153 with a 24" barrel that I use for waterfowl and an IZH-27 with 28" barrels that I use for everything else that flys.

To each their own.

Good hunting, Bowhunter57

As long as you are happy with yours, that is all that matters. I do not like them because the one I owned did not really have a pattern and did not shoot to point of aim. Being a cheap SXS, I could have overlooked the 9lb trigger pulls, problems with the ejecters not working right and its ability to easily rust, if it had at least had a pattern and shot to POI.

bullseye a friend of mine just got the new nickle one, it shoots realy good paterns ejects just fine but the wood is not a patch on my old one.sorry to hear you got a bad one maybe. which can happen with any make i no a guy that has a bereta sxs top of the line gun and its always brakeing ejector springs , i no a lot of guys that have baikls as a bush guns and have no trouble with them .mine has good triggers as well .bow hunter 57 the two i have owend have been very good guns wish i still had the old hamer gun that was even nicer than the one inthe pics.
