Baikal 45-70 vs 30-06
      18/09/09 08:26 AM

I'm very interested in the Baikal double rifle.
What are your thoughts on the 45-70 versus the 30-06 in this rifle ???

Neutral points
- Both hit hard (though different) and are appropriate for most game world wide
- The accuracy (both barrels) in these guns are not especially great. Since your shot distance is limited, the long range capability of the 30-06 really doesn't come into play (though I suppose you can essentially have a single shot rifle if you have the first barrel zeroed)


45/70 pros
- Classic big bore
- Lighter weight by a pound

45/70 cons
- Expensive ammo
- Limited brands of ammo (the one brand you can find may not shoot very well)
- Limited brands of ammo (this gun is technically rated for standard pressure rounds)




30-06 pros
- Entry level shells are almost 1/2 the cost
- Good variety of ammo
- As noted, in theory you could zero your first shot and be ok to 300-350 or better with the first shot.

30-06 cons
- Doesn't have that big bore feel a double should have
- At close range, I don't think it quite has the bang / flop affect the 45/70 does
45/70 or 30-06
You may choose only one
45/70
30-06
