Doesn't say much about availability !!!

get allocated 10 !!!

Ten from Remington will be plenty to satisfy the brand-name zealots. Then we can get a thousand or two direct from Baikal to satisfy the rest of the market, at half the price!

Near as I could see, Remington had exactly ZERO of them in their booth at the SCI convention last week. I looked and looked, but nary a gun with two rifled barrels was in sight. Pilgrim

And there's still that 28,000 PSI/28,000 CUP warning on there. I wonder how much of that is factual and how much is pussing out to the lawyers.

Had my local gunshop look into it last week, the Australian Remington distributors told him not to hold our breath for a 45-70, either Remington or Baikal, rumour has it, 2 were made initially, 1 displayed at the shot show last year and the other one was blown up due to someone in the U.S putting something like Cor-Bon loads in it. Not sure exactly how much of this would be true, just repeating what Morgan told my gun dealer.
Having said that, I recently looked at a 30-06 SxS Baikal in a shop, really nice and it retailed for $1250-00 AUD.
I think the problem will be barrel wall thickness in the 45-70's, as the action Baikal used for the 30-06 is really nice and trim, looks like a 410 size action, and consequently barrel wall thickness would be limited to what looks OK on the action. Comb was a bit high for open sight use on the 30-06, but for $1250-00, you wouldn't mind taking a bit off it. Nice little quarter rib on it and a very nice hidden regulating screw in front of the forend, hidden in the lower rib.
Looks like it might be very interesting, still thinking about buying the 30-06 I saw, just to play with one.
