From what I have read on the Baikal site the 9.3x74R is available only in the O/U "Express" double and NOT the sxs. Hopefully they will see the light and chamber this classic round in the sxs but if they don't maybe I will have to get over my aversion to O/U doubles and get one.

Boronia Firearms are offering the 30/06 sxs double for $1,250 cased which is the best I have seen. Another gunshop close by has the same rifle for $1,750 "go figure". I guess it pays to shop around even on the bargain rifles.

Great to get reports from people who have used these guns in the field and range and also the positive feedback on the regulation screw system is encouraging.
