I bought a 20 gauge Baikal years ago for $50 at a pawn shop. It was a really good gun. I deer hunted with it many times. I gave it to a friend of mine that didn't have a gun at all. He still has it among other guns.
One commenter (I believe it was on a British shooting channel) said about the Baikal ruggedness, you can shoot clays on Sunday, and pound in fenceposts with it on Monday.
Iv shot this model of baikal ( pronounced: By-kaal. Named after lake Baikal) single shot. Buddy picked one up for $100 Canadian in 12 guage for his younger brother. They are a nice rugged tight patterning shot gun. only thing I found was that if you didn't hold on tight the cocking/opening lever would wack your middle finger and knuckles something fierce.
The other gun is a Huglu ("Hoo-Glue"). The original make that started the whole Turkish shotgun movement. I worked for a guy who bought a Huglu semi-auto in 12 ga. in 1999. He loved it. A lot of people had/have the same opinion about that make. Hit where he pointed it, shot every time he pulled the trigger and I think it only set him back about $250, brand new.
I have a Plain-Jane SPR-100, picked it up used last November. Had to have it. I personally think they're the most handy single shot design out there. You cock your striker, break your barrel, and eject your spent cartridge in one motion. The little switch under the forearm there by the receiver can allow you to switch between ejection and extraction. Plus I like the location of the crossbolt safety. Mine has a simple plastic buttplate that says 'SPARTAN' real big across it. Looks very nice, but with 3 inch magnums in it that dog will bite you. With that being said, it's about as handy of a single shot you can get, at least to me. I didn't even know about the Huglu clones, but I'm glad I do now. I'll have to check one out. Remington imported a rifle version of these guns, as far as I know it has the same action. Some of them had a spiral cut barrel, pretty funky looking. The one I handled was .308.
Love my single shots, I especially am fond of my old Winchester 37 20 gauge, the stevens is also a good old gun and I have one of those Turkish made branded Yildiz, its a nice shotgun
Hola saludos desde cuba mi primer arma fue una Baikal ij18 muy buena arma segura y compacta con ella tire desde munición hasta balas para casa mayor es la misma escopeta que comercializo reminngton
IMHO Henry makes the best single shot shotgun but the Baikal is also very good especially considering it’s hard to find a single shot hammer less gun that doesn’t block your view upon firing. In that regard the Baikal is the better gun.

Did you get to harvest deer with it?
@@FISHUNTREECOUNTRY oh yeah. It shoots slugs very accurately. It does have one heck of a punch with buckshot or slugs though.
@@Brett235 Nice. I love single shots.

Blued steel and walnut the Russian is beautiful to any old timer, I own a Toz 16-gauge hammer gun and love it. Great video Mr. Jones

You have internet and guns in Cuba things must be looking up
I always like the older guns. I think they are built better and to last.
Ever consider reviewing coach guns?
Yes some time back. Ed and I had a Baikal and a CZ 20-inch Dubbles in 16ga.
Can help me to get baikal@@esquad5406

How is your middle finger doing......is it damaged by the gun recoil?

Почему на наших ружьях такие ублюдочные деревяхи?
Turkish shotguns are cheap.
Some are. Some are H&K and Franci.
