Dang Bruce, that is a high grade gun! Bushed strikers, sideclips, trap, the whole nine yards. Kinda looks like a Kettner, to me? Great chambering, too. While drillings can be spendy, if a guy is patient, and waits for a deal exactly like you pointed out here, you can buy a very high quality gun, for a fairly good price.

While that one has some fine work on it I see no scope mounts or a scope for that matter.
The maker is not known?
I would keep shopping.

I would keep shopping. Claw mounts could be had, installed, for a grand or so. Find a gun like that, with mounts(and a "name") for $3500. Good luck. I like a great deal as much as the next guy...but you have to be realistic. Jeff

Jeff, You know these guns well, and recognize just what this gun is. I'll also wager that the bore is .322 or .323, as in "S" bore. The little pin plunger in the extractor is a hint. Some pretty cagey makers of the better quality guns made them to shoot all flavors of the 8MM round adequately. They used the .321/.322 bore barrels so that one could shoot J bore or S bore ammo. The J bore wasn't quite as accurate, but it shot well enough for the relatively close shots from low or high seats, while the .321/.322 barrels were exceedingly accurate using .323 ammo and had no pressure issues. That little pin plunger made it so one could use rimless ammo; it is the extractor for a rimless case. They are spring loaded and retract for a rimmed case. Pretty smart, these old craftsmen.

Here is a decent buy on a high quality drilling with some bells & whistles not readily noticed. www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=267498798It has the bullet trap, an expensive option, and it is set up to shoot rimmed or rimless 8MM ammo. It is a bit higher grade gun, also. Oh sure, I was thinkin' an under-$500.00 beater, and you guys -- all you drilling guys -- now have me lookin' and learnin' 'bout $3,500 guns! Damn, that is a fine looking piece, I could live with the 16 gauge chambering, the 8mm however doesn't inspire me all that much. Got one like it in 7x57/28? > grin<

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.

Thanks in no small part to guys like you, who are willing to share their knowledge on forums like this. This post is a case in point, as I'd not spotted the plunger in the extractor, and wouldn't have known what it was for right off. Thanks for the lesson! Learned something again. Jeff

That would cost you about double the zukes, maybe triple. A 20ga 7X57R would be at a great premium. That Baikal of Mike's would work fine for your purposes.

Mike, That Leupold on it makes it all look like a flower on a brick. The two Baikal 94 BBFs I have shot, mine and a friend's, were both spooky accurate for a combo gun. Given the triggers are less than great out of the box, it amazed me. They won't win beauty contests, but they work and are a good choice as a truck gun or a poachers pal. I don't endorse breaking any game laws.

I agree with the accuracy part. With the open irons and 62 gr Silver Bear it was shooting 2" at 100. I haven't yet finished working up the loads yet, because I put a B&L Shotgun scope on it to see how that worked and haven't had time to shoot the loads with the scope. I'm hoping for great things. It still takes quite a bit of effort to open and close it though, so needs more shooting.

It was German. Just looked at it in the case, no one around to get it out for me and I was in a hurry.
7x72 was a new one on me as well. I'll have to look and see if some one makes brass for it.

$2799.00 Mooner, that is about twice too much for a hammer drilling in a very obsolete rifle round. It was no doubt a very high grade gun, but the 65mm chambers and 7X72R rifle knock the value considerably.
