they were origionally made by Baikal, and remmy bought them out of course. I have not fired them, but i have handled them myself. It is a good looking, and simple, yet sturdy rifle. Accuracy should be good, as it is hammer forged. it is also twisted steel, to aid in cooling. it is light, but not too light. They cost about 225, to 275. they come in a wide variety of cals, plus if you like you can send your receiver off to remmy, and they will custom fit any other cal of bbl you want on them. it also came with the swivel mounts and express sites, if I rmemeber right. A really dreamy little hunter's rig, handling and weight very reminiscent of a cz 527. Would love to have one of these, with a few giant cals.
