I've had the Remington import version of the Baikal 7x57/12 and have a put anywhere from a variable to a fixed 6x42 on them,Mike, and they worked fine for the rifle. Raised scope with the see thru mounts if you wish to look straight down the shotgun but maybe the scope will be fine for your shotgun out to 30 yards. Some I know, look down the side of their shotgun for that shot.

I just purchased the EAA,not Remington version Baikal 223/12 and it is a beauty.Dark English walnut with excellent graining. I'm going to put my Sightron 6x42 on it and see how it works. If no good, I'm putting a Leupy VII 2x8x32,I think,to give it a try.

Just keep trying scopes you have in stock, Mike,that will get you sighted in to the distance you like for your rifle chamber and then see what you can do for your shotgun patterning.

Keep me up to date and posted,please. I'll do the same.
