New toy will be here tomorow

Join in the excitement gang.

I have a Baikal 53M that should be here tomorow. Looking forward to some fun plinking with it. Love springers, and have a range in the basement all ready to go.

Will post a eview, but being one of the world's worst with a pistol, will reserve accuracy comments until I've had a chance to sling a few hndred out of it.

I've seen these at princess auto but didn't pick one up because they want too much for it. Its a large pistol. Cocking seemed fairly easy. Sights look good and I think the trigger is adjustable. If they go on sale at princess auto, I'll probably pick one up. Looking forward to your review.

I didn't know Princess Auto carried pellet guns...This one is about 40 bucks less than the PA asking price! hxxp://scopesandammo.com/storefront/product_info.php/baikalizh-53m-air-pistol-177-caliber-p-337

So far nothing but great fun!

Will need some more phone books/catalogs soon.

How is the accuracy?

How is the accuracy?

I don't like to admit this...I'm the world's worst shot with any pistol! That's why I picked it up. That admitted, I can hit a bottle cap sized bull consistently at 30 feet now(still nothing to brag about). Good cheap basement practice has helped immensely.

For the plus side, one of the nicest airgun triggers I have squeezed. It is adjustable, but I haven't touched it yet. Would guess it at just under 2lbs out of the box. In the owner's manual is actual pen signature for it's assembly inspection. Rear sight is adjustable, but only a couple of turns needed to get me into the zone.

All in all, pretty tough fun to beat for the price. Will re-visit accuracy once I get better!
