The only differences that I know about it you have already stated. I know the synthetic stock would be more durable if it was to be used as a bush gun ( less likely to get damaged from tree braches and moisture.)
I have a Savage Model 24S chambered in .22LR/.410. This thing is a tack driver. The gun has to be 30 years old and its still in good shape.
I believe that the Baikal has the rifle barrel on the bottom and the shotgun ontop. It all depends what you are going to use it for but you might find it fidgety to try and load a rifle round down in the bottom when your hands are cold or wearing gloves.
My opinion, go with the Savage, you won't be disappointed.

I was thinking about getting a Savage 12ga/ 30-30 combo but decided to put it off right now because of the cost. It was around $720 at Wholesale Sports.Ca. I have ordered a couple of shotguns from them in the past without any problems. You might want to check them out.
A 410 is great for up close sitting bunny shots but for running shots the 20 ga is the best choice (in my opinion). This goes for grouse as well.... hard to him them with a 410 when they flush.

I have a Savage 24F in 12 gauge and .22 hornet and love it, though the trigger pull is a bit on the hard side. The 12 Gauge has a Modified choke tube, and I'm thinking of getting Improved Cylinder and maybe a rifled choke for upland and deer shooting. With open sights from a bench I was just able to get the .22 hornet rounds on the target at 200m, not quite enough accuracy for varmints, but I suppose that it would be fine as is for Coyotes up to 100-150 yards, maybe further with optics and more practice.
I'm a wood person myself, but the plastic stock is durable and doesn't look too bad on this combo. While there's older wooden models out there (though just never when I'm looking for them!) you will probably be stuck with Full choke, which is limited in its applications on upland game.
Good Luck,
Frank
