Author Topic: Ok I'm Keeping the Baikal Combo (Read 1012 times)

After thinking about this for some time I have decided to keep the Baikal Combo. It just keeps getting better. The rifled choke shoots a 1 inch group at 50 yards. The turkey choke I just ordered has taken turkey at 67 yards. The 30-06 is consistantly in the 10 ring at 100 yards.

What more could you want from a combo? Ok so it is not the best looking gun but it keeps going and going...

I did not exclude accepting gifts. :-D :-D :-D

With the rifled and turkey screw in chokes This gun does everything I would need. It does kick like a mule, the finish is ok (this is not a display gun) the trigger pull is not adjustable BUT the gun is like an unattractive Eveready bunny, it just keeps going and going. I was looking at a Merkel the otherday but keep thinking this gun is so pretty I would hate to scratch it or mess up the finish. I can not say that about the Baikal. :eek:

Drillingman I will IM you with my address so you can send me that Valmet jewel... :-D
