I think they would be great. I think all of these lower cost doubles are good for everybody as long as people don't compare one with an old English gun.
They MAY look really crappy but as you say, what do you expect for the price. I think they would be awesome on Pigs etc and I agree, good cheap shooting too without the cost of NE cartridges / components.
Re name, I thought Baikal but I thought they MAY be coming out here under the Remington name.
Anyway, will try to ask the Remington and Baikal importers when I next bump into them on my rounds and will try to report back.
