Default RE: baikal/remington double rifle in 45/70

ORIGINAL: snuffynra

have been watching these for several years,even called few times to remington and baikal overseas.could not get my hands on one,have read many stories about them some good some bad.talked to 2 guys that just got them.said wood is walnut ,not super fancy buy any means,both reported groups between 3 to 4 inches at 75 yds without a lot of tinkering.so mine is on its way...double rifle in 45/70 for under $1000 ?ill post back on how she does,
What i'm reading about them from those that own them is, they need quite a bit of tinkering. Horrible triggers, rib parts falling off, and horrible sights. Nothing that can't be fixed, but it looks like they won't win any awards for quality either...

They are NOT designed to handle any heavy loads either, so factory load pressures it is!...
