A Baikal o/u on its side is a good description, but for the filler (thin steel)

Like I said above, it shot what i wanted as it came out of the box -- so fat so good - im leary to try and adjust it right now. Im going to find my good load with the 180 gr round nose and then go from there. It aint pretty, but certainly solid in a workmanlike way of a tool - more of a hammer then an artist's paint brush.

But it groups as well as my Merkel 470 sxs - so far.
