Baikal/Remington double rifle in 45/70
 

i finally took it out and shot it today after2 weeks of bitter weather,of all the story's i have read the last 5 years trying to come across one of these,i was VERY surprised at what i got.the wood was much better then i thought,i heard story about the barrels are not regulated,i shot 2 quick shots to get the feel of it,then took a free standing 2 shots at 70 yds,then 2 more with a box of Remington 405gr sp.the last 4 were in a 2x3 inch box thats what i would consider very good even for doubles that cost 5 to 10 times as much.it has a jack screw adjustment for changing left or right slightly.but i will not use it.im not sure what the problem was with them, but what ever it was it must be fixed.im very happy with this rifle,glad i did not go by some of the exposure this rifle had the last few years.i now have a double rifle to ad to collection ,and i did not have to sell my truck LOL.obviously its not as nice as a holland and holland or a merkel,but it also was under $1000

When I clicked on your post I was really wanting to see a picture of the rifle. I have been waiting to read your post on your new double rifle. Did I mention a picture of the rifle?? Please post a picture of the rifle?? The target looks great. Tom.:D:D:D

sorry about that,i thought i already posted pics of it..here you go,i switched the upper forearm with one from my
coach gun,i just thought the one it came with was a little to small for me.also i put it next to my 450 marlin for size comparison

It looks like all you need is a little sight adjustment to the right and you're all set. I had one in my hands a couple months ago and almost got it. But I didn't buy it because of the low pressure loads it could only shoot. They are nice rifles and balance well in the hands. My cousin has both the 45-70 and the 30-06. He likes them.

i dont reload so i just buy standard 45/70 loads over the counter at my local gander mt,they dont have any buffalo bore or Garretts there anyways,

Very nice looking rifle!

Wow, that gun has some phenomenal wood in it! That is one very good looking gun. I really like it. I didnt realize those guns had double triggers. That is also really appealing in a double gun. Great gun!

Not a bad looking rifle, actually! I'd settle for the 405-grain factory ballistics withthat rifle.......

I'm not suprised you got good results. I've had a Baikal O/U for two years and despite what I've heard it keeps up just fine with the bereta and citoris and red labels that belong to people I shoot with. I'm actually looking at their semi auto. Was the double rifle special order? Didn't know they made em. I'm considering getting a 45/70 in afew years and would like more info. Nice rifle man.
