It's been around a while (except 45-70) and they have sold quite a few.

I wouldn't put it past them (Mexican Rigby)
to put their name on it !!!

It is a nice looking rifle - plain, with good lines and it isn't expensive, either. I'd like one in .45 cal. myself- could even see selling a couple other guns to get one, if need be. I'd really like a double .45/70 for a guide gun.

I'd like to see a photo taken from above. The description says there is no rib between the barrels. Could it look like this, turned sideways?

Apparently can't in the US. Remington is the sole US importer, and they don't carry them.
Typically stupid that they will sell the O/U but not the SXS.
EAA handles parts and warranty on the Baikal guns but not importation.

C'mon guys!
The Californicated rigby is at least twice as good as the Baikal!
So I'll have mine for $2500...thought they added a extra zero in there somewhere.

Yes I believe this was the spec sheet for the Cali Rigby design.
