the 20g Jim.....

Ah yes a Baikal, the "B gun" you need for when its raining and you want to go shootin........................................... .

Pardon the pun ... but "bang for the buck" I think they are good value and I'm only referring the bottom (cheaper) end of their range. I bought a .410 many years ago for the kids to (ab)use as they got into shotgunning and I thought it was good value for the money. The kids steal my 12 gauges now so flicked it onto a mate in the South Island. He uses it to chase quail in the riverbeds and she still works fine.

I'm loving the B gun side by sider... for the age its a mint condition and it basically costed me a good night out drinking...
But consistent shooting is not what I am getting out of it... with a short stock, tough safety. I can put it to use for boar hunting with buck shots back home and it will last for another century.
But here with brownies flying from between your balls there isn't much room for error.

@mikee I just fondled the same 27g in stirling sports Richmond, had to talk myself out of it! Sweet quail gun

I need to go too for more 12g ammo, but too scared too, every time I go there my wallet leaps out of my pocket and randomly buys stuff.

My missus came in looking for me last time and the owner comes racing upstairs to warn me she was coming. customer service like no other and the look on his face was priceless when I didn't panic.


Apparently most blokes react somewhat differently

Was just passing through seeing family Mikee. I didn't think to put it up on here, would have been good to put a few faces to names!
