I owned one and was not happy with the synch of the barrels

With the wheel I could get them right on top of one another but the elevation was out by over 10/15cm at 50M

The best groups I could get (still over 10cm out)were with 405gr cast projectiles over 13gr of Trail Boss.

I took it to a gun smith but he couldn't do anything for it. I got no love from the importer who bought them into Australia. I think a new importer has the licence now?

I get the feeling that the issue with them is consistency, there isn't any.

If your going to buy one make sure you do it from a reputable seller who will take it back if it is beyond the pale.

I have to admit however that it was fun to shoot (the guys were right, with heavier loads it kicks like a mule) and it got me hooked on DR shooting and started me reloading (that was necessary to find a load that worked).

I now have a Sabatti in 45-70 and it is chalk and cheese, as you would expect for a rifle more than 5 times the price.

If you have always wanted to own and shoot a DR and you can afford it buy the Baikal and have fun. Just don't expect to much and you wont be disappointed and may even be pleasantly surprised.

When to much recoil is just not enough.
