Thread: rossi vs baikal single shots

Anyone used either and reckon one is better? Im looking at one and the rossis are coming up on special.

Do they shoot fine or a bit shit?

cheers

I like my Rossi Pumba but the open sights are crap plastic, I think I can get decent replacements but not cheap I think?

Baikal, it will work properly, and its Russian!

And the Baikal can be had in some cool calibers on special order like 9.3x64

I have just gone threw the same thing after talking to the local gun smith I have ordered a harrington and Richardson
Handi rifle

+1 for the Russian

Takes apart, fits into a daypack. Built like a brick shithouse. Good accuracy.

Only thing I can fault is the trigger, pretty agricultural.

Always wanted a 45-70. Not even sure why

Rossi can shoot pretty accurately, if they function that is.
Workmanship is Poos.
I would not recommend unless you like to tinker.

their single shot rifles are accurate and have a wonderfully strong action.they are outstanding value.great guns. the 7.62 x 39 is a great gun.takes a suppressor and the ammo's cheap.

how long is the barrel segment once its broken down?

I had my barrel cut down to 18 inches, can't remember what the standard length was ? 22 or 24 inches I guess.

Stock part is 20 inches.

If you use a scope it will stick out behind the back part of the barrel and add length. Skinner sights on mine.

I was goin to put up photo of Rossi in pack form but discovered my phone no longer has a sd card :what:
Must have come out when it blew to bits on the workshop floor this morning.

VC, this the pic ya looking for ?

I have a Rossi in 223 supressed and it is a pleasure to shoot, although I would prefer a Baikal for the fact it doesn't have the hammer hanging out the back.
