Hello All.

Just got my new Russian Baikul 12 ga. Coach Gun, 20" barrels with ejectors, concealed hammers. Now, my druthers would have me buy a Ruger Gold Label, but until they get a job and pay $2000 for the thing, they'll have to be quiet about it. The point I'm getting at (yes, there is one) is that this looks to be quite a bit better gun than I thought it would be for $200. It locks up like a bank vault, has pretty fair ejections for a short-break breech-loader, and the finish looks great. Now, I know that the test will be 500 shells from now, but I'm thinking, do good quality doubles HAVE to be so expensive? Let me know what you think. Thanks.
