				Inexpensive O/U for fun
			 
			
			
			I am starting to shoot sporting clays a little, just for fun. I am thinking of getting a 12 or 20 gauge O/U. I went to friend at the local gun shop and he recommended a Baikal/EAA. He saif he has sold hundreds of them and has had no complaints. They feel fairley well made and have several features usually found on very high end O/U's. I van get either a 20 or 12 in 3" mag for about $300.00 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	
	Has anyone shot any of these EAA/BAikal O/U or have any other recommendations for an O/U under $450.00  |

			I think you can get a Stoeger o/u for under $450. A friend of mine had a point of impact problem with one of them, but that was about 8 years ago. Lately, I have only heard good things about them. Haven't seen a Baikal yet to express any opinion whatsoever on it.

				Baikal shotguns
			 
			
			
			I bought a Baikal sxs 16 gauge a few months ago and really like it.  The shop that sold it to me has sold quite a few baikal sxs and o/u guns without a hitch.  Remington is selling Baikal sxs and o/u shotguns under the Spartan trade name.  All the best...

			Everone I know who has bought a Baikal likes the, and I know a number of people that have the,  I've shot my sons 16 that he bought for ducks.  It shoots where it's pointed, a little heavy for a 16.  They are on the stiff side when opening and closing them, they'll wear in.  For the money I think they are a good buy, won't win any beauty contests.  Most importantly they function well.
