Ha ve owned a Baikal and Spartan. The Baikal in 12/30-06 was regulated perfectly. The Spartan 12/223 shot 6.5 inches to the right and initially 5 high. For the most part the Baikals/Spartans can not be adjused the rifle barrel can only be adjust by guessing what spacer to use. I dont have either any longer. For me its Valmet which are not that much more. if you can find someone willing so sell it for a fair price. For some reason people are very proud of the Valmets, and they typically dont sell for that proud price.
