Hi Guys,

From my last inspection of the Baikal website the 9.3x74R is offered in their U/O double only. With the expected delay in getting the SxS into Australia I am thinking about ordering one of these to tie me over.

Nitro you are right the SxS has it all over the U/O in aesthetic appeal and also for me, the SxS is THE double rifle. Maybe if I own and shoot a U/O my opinion may change but I doubt it, I even prefer SXS in shotguns although I own both configurations.

The Baikal's seem to have a innovative regulation system whereby one barrel is fixed and the other adjustable so it can be regulated for different loads. I don't know if this system works but I haven't heard anything to the contrary and I am sure it would have been extensively tested before it was adopted. If there are any members who have personal experience with the Baikal double rifle regulation system I am eager to hear from them.

9.3x74R is a sweet round and one that has proven itself over a long period of time, if the rifle regulates well then I think that the U/O should be a winner as well.
