Thread: 5.6x57 single shot project

@makka I will be interested to see how this goes accuracy wise

Having built a number of rifles on the Baikal single barrel shotgun actions with great success, but none of them being smaller caliber and larger scope I have never been able to see what the Baikal platform is capable of.

Builds in 30-30, 307 Win and 50-70 nitro were all vastly more accurate than I would find acceptable considering the caliber / scope combination and intended use.

I have also used one of the CZ 1:9 barrels on a 222R Contender Stub with very good results, so expect that this Baikal 5.6x57 build should / could be very accurate.
Even my 222R hasn't been tested to it's max due to the current ( maybe for ever ) powder, primer and projectile shortages.

So I will watch with interest what this Baikal is capable of having just had a conversation with someone about the suitability of his chosen platform ( not Baikal or Contender ) for an accurate 22 CF
