RE: Baikal shotguns
Remington imports them under the Spartan name. They are russian and seem to have a fairly decent following for a bargain shotgun. They get better reviews than the CZ or Mossbergs (I'm talking about O/U, but side by sides should be simular).
I have a spartan single shot from remington. It isn't bad, don't have too many rounds thru it yet though. I got it for the girlfriend, only cost 100 bucks. The only thing I don't like about mine is the trigger is nasty.
