I have a family member that bought one. It provides all manner of fun for him. He too is a big reloader/cast bullet guy. Regulation required a good deal of experimentation and tinkering, but he worked it down to less than minute of pie plate at 100 yards. The stock shape is a little unforgiving in the recoil dept and the trigger pull is not the best. Fit and finish is on the crude side as well, but one MUST keep things in context. The gun cost him somewhere around the $1000 Canadian mark, which is worth about 12 cents USD at today's currency exchange rates. :-)

I think that this gun is a great double play thing that gets one into the game for relatively little money. A mainstream Euro double entry level gun such as a Merkel or Chapuis will set you back ten times the cost. The Bakail on the other hand may make you curse if it starts to rain and you accidentally drop it in a muddy ditch, but you probably won't feel like a child abuser like you would if you did this to a much more expensive double.

Go forth and play, have a tremendous amount of fun, but do keep expectations in check.
