accidentally I found now the pics of a 9,3x53R double rifle again when looking for other stuff in the Deutsches Waffenjournal 9/97. its a russian Baikal double rifle M 10-09 that was made as an official present for Erich Honecker than the east german head of state in Izhevsk/Russia. the rifle was auctioned in 1997 with his other rifles. a friend have bought a russian hunting rifle in 5,6x39/ 220 russian from this lot. possible I find the owner of this double rifle also. would be interesting to see it. I am sure the double is regulated for the russian cartridge and will have problems with Sako ammunition. blitz action with ejector's, russian scope on a space age claw mount
