Another Baikal double rifle question
17/02/10 07:12 AM

I know this rifle has been discussed before, but now that it's been available for a while I'm hoping there may be some more long term experiences now.

<Flame suit on>

I'm only interested in this rifle if I can rechamber it to .45-120. My reasons are simple....

o I already own a single in .45-120.

o I own 100 + cases in .45-120.

o I own a die set in .45-120.

o I have some experience reloading for .45-120.

o I own a reamer for .45-120, and I know how to use it.

All I want is a cheap double that I can play with, mainly to get some shooting experience with a double before spending silly money on a "real" one. If I like the experience, then we can have the "should I get a new Merkel or try to find a low priced english rifle maybe in BPE?" discussion etc etc etc.

I don't want to discuss pressures, or breech thrust, I'm happy with 28,000 in whichever unit you prefer.

OK. Let's get to the questions....

1. I have read that the barrels have chrome linings. Is this true? If so, I don't think I want to try reaming the chambers.

2. What are the OD's of the barrel around the chamber? I believe it is stepped. where are the steps and what are the OD changes at them?

3. Has anyone rechambered one of these? To any cartridge. If so which?

4. Are these rifles still tight and shooting well after hundreds of rounds? If not, when did you notice it loosening up?

5. What sort of problems have you had with the rifle?

I'd love to hear about any experience with this rifle first hand from owners.
