Hello again,
I posted here a few days ago after purchasing a Stoeger O/U for my brothers 14th birthday present. I have been taking him out to the skeet range and we've been having a lot of fun.
I have been looking into getting a slightly larger 12ga that would fit me better, but I don't want to spend to much. I am only around a skeet range in the summer as my college has no nearby range I am aware of. Perhaps in a couple years after I graduate I will get something like a Beretta I really like. Recently I found a Baikal O/U 12ga for sale that fits me decently (the balance is a bit funny, but workable) for $200. Does anyone have real experience with these Russian guns? I am not sure what model it is, it has essentially no recoil pad ( tiny sliver of a plastic/rubber) ... and looks perhaps 1980s vintage. My understanding is that they are built like tanks, but how do they shoot? Are they on par with say the Stoeger Condor I got for my brother?
Thanks,
Chase
