TOZ-17-1 Baikal opinions
« on: December 17, 2012, 04:32:01 PM »
I have one borrowed and it seems fairly accurate with bulk ammo.(3/4"-1.5" 5 shot groups with irons at 50 yards with less than young eyes)The magazine is not reliable with more than 3 rounds in it( finding a  new one is impossible) and the bolt is not the smoothest thing.What have others heard about them?

I owe the guy $150 if i choose to keep it.

George,    I did a search for the model you have and couldnt find anything about it.  Is it a bolt action or a semiauto ?   Anyway , that accuracy with bulk 22 ammo is quite good.  I have many rimfires and have noticed that the cheap ammo of today isnt as accurate as the ammo from 20-30 years ago.
  I guess the decision on keeping it is how much you like the rifle.

These are Baikal and are being imported under another name now I believe.  K-var Corp. has them available so you might call them for support.
