bugtussel....I bought my son a EAA imported Baikal SxS a coupla years ago for his first shotgun. At that time there were hardly any reasonably priced SxSs available and he wanted one. Now they are imported by Remington and called Spartan. They are identical to my son's Baikal. As far as for the money, they are a nice gun and shoot well. I think I paid around $300 bucks at the time and have since regretted not gettin another for myself. The only problem my son had was the receiver to barrel fit was extremely tight and hard for a twelve year old to close. With a coupla years of use it has loosened a tad and now he has no problem. For the money, I would recommend them to anyone.
