cant believe such little talk on this topic about the Baikal IZH94. was imported for about a year by Remington by the model # SPR94 and now imported through EAA and USSG as the MP-94.
I own a 223/12ga and a 308/12ga
Great little gun with a few problems. absolutely the worst recoil pad on the planet and brutal trigger's. spend a little time with one and you will have to have one
Bought one from Bud's Gunshop in .223/12GA. It is rugged, and it is accurate, but it took three men and a boy to break it open, and even after using some 800 grit polishing compound, is still very hard to open. Overall I like it, especially for the price I paid, $515, but all in all, I much prefer my Valmet.
