Let me add.

I am not an English only double person - in fact I own
Merkels and Sarasquita's.

I LIKE the idea of low cost doubles and the Spartan / Baikal
sounds very good indeed and will allow people to get a first double.

Like the Beretta Silver and Gold Sables in 9.3 x 74R and lower cost
Baikal's currently on the market at the moment, they are great guns
for what they are and what you pay for them.

However they build and PROOF guns for a reason.

500 Nitro

PS - Lets hope China doesn't start building cheap Doubles !!!
