Baikal single shot rifle

I had one in 223 , it would do moa or better . The trigger on mine was creepy & heavy , I had my gunsmith clean it up & he improved it quite a bit .

For the money I'd say they are a decent rifle . But I would check out a stevens if I were looking in that price range again .
 
I have one in 7.62x39. So far, I have only killed a few rocks with it. It is a loud little critter. It is difficult to open, but will likely improve with use.

No, it's not a Ruger No.1, but I didn't pay much either, maybe around $200, or less. I'll be giving it a better run this Spring.

I just bought a Rossi single shot in .223, but have only killed a laundry soap jug with it so far. It will be my center-fire gopher attack defense rifle.:p
 
Thanks guys, I'm thinking about a lightweight single shot in .270 as a "mountain rifle" and I don't want to break the bank. H&R is an alternative in the price range, but I like the look of the Baikal better.
 
Mine was a 308 and is the only gun to date that i could never site in... Shot 10 boxes of various brands of ammo, and nothing I tried would group... I had others try it out and they had the same results... It's too bad because I liked the look of it and it was easy to carry, load and shoot.
 
4"-5" groups at 50 yards, sub-MOA, can't get it to shoot....really sounds like a hit and miss proposition. No pun intended.
 
Got one in 7.62 x 54, shoots very well at 100 yards with open sights. Had another one, .223, couldn't get it to group at all at 100 yards. I sold the .223, but wouldn't part with the other one. Considering the 7.62 X 39, just for a kicking around gun. They break down really small and quick, fit into packs well.
 
I have the 7.62x39mm model that I bought for $199.

I've only shot it at 25M so far, but I like it.:)

Surprising enough, 1985 Czech surplus grouped the tightest out of all the ammo I tried.

I plan to test it at 100M in the Spring.
