G'day fellas, just a couple of comments on the Baikal DR's.
I own both a O & U 9.3 x74 and a S X S 30/06 and believe them to be very good value as working rifles.
Several months ago I submitted a report of my experience with the 9.3 x 74. For those of you that didn't see the article it took about 12 rounds to regulate the barrels, 6 or 8 more to sight in the leupold scope a short walk in the bush (a bit of luck here) and a one shot kill on a Sambar hind at about 120 mtrs. I recently purchased the 30/06 and haven't done much with it yet, but while sighting in it is grouping L&R at about 2" at 50mtrs out of the box! I am currently waiting for the 45/70 to arrive and will be loading up to the upper limit loads for the Trapdoor Springfield, using the ADI loading data, which will give me a 300gr projectile at 2200 fps. I currently intend purchasing a classic 500BPE but there is no way I would risk damage to that rifle by taking it into some of the country I hunt. The only problem I have with these rifles as mentioned previously, are the triggers, they definately are bad. I hope I can find a good gunsmith to improve them for me ( maybe Kudu services) I will probably have a go at improving the wood to metal fit myself and get into the wood work with some good quality oil. A previous writer mentioned problems that surfaced from time to time, I would be interested to find out what they are so I can be watchfull for them

All the best and good shooting, Ian.
