I could see how this could be a handy firearm to have around. It looks to be very well made and from the reviews I read the rifle part shoots very well on these things.

    That is a useful combo, I like the double triggers and the screw in choke.

    I wonder what the twist rate is in the 223?

    Pair that with the x-caliber kit from Chiappa and you would have the ultimate survival gun.

    Many years ago, my granddad said, "All a man needs around here (mountains of SW Virginia) is a double-barreled shotgun. Put buckshot in one barrel and punkin ball (slug) in tother.
    Don't matter if the deer is standin' still or runnin', jus' select the right barrel."

    Many years later I purchased one of those Russian combos in 12 ga/ 30-06 and put grandads theory to the test on deer on Kodiak Island.

    He was right, ya know!

    The 12 ga/223 would be a good hunting or survival gun.
    I can't believe they misspelled "Pork and Beans!"

    Not a Baikal, but I own a Savage 24V, in .30-.30 over a 20ga.

    That would be a great gun for hunting in the Jungle of Central and south America.

    It is mounted with a Simmons Pro-Series (4 power?) Diamond reticle shotgun scope. I like it.

    It came about due to a Select-Fire link to an auction, after we were discussing these types of firearms. His was a Valmet, if I am not mistaken.

    The first Firearm I ever bought myself was a Savage (field grade) 24 .22mag over a 20 ga. Made a really nice trade on it, (1952 Winchester 94 in .30-.30) [which I still have] but I would really like to have that .22mag over 20 ga. back.





    Personally, I like the Colt Courier Ricci is offering. :D

    I sold that thirty thirty /20 on Gunbroker. I do have a Valmet 412 .308//12 and love it.

    I like the Combo guns. Especially the older ones. Although I've never pulled trigger so to speak on a Drilling, I always wanted a German/Austrian Drilling in 16X16X 30-06 or even 20X20X30-06 or 270.
    I do have and early wood stocked O/U 22/410 Model 24 Savage, 1 standard and one deluxe 22/410 Marlin Model 90 O/U and one Standard 30-30/410 Marlin Model 90 o/u. Very sleek and cool little guns.

    I've got a CZ, 12 modified over 7X57. Nice well built rifle and the 7X57 is very accurate. A good rifle if your interest is bringing some sort of meat home. I don't really care if it is a Deer, a Hare or a Pheasant.:)

    I still have my eye on one of yours.
    After I factor in shipping and ffl it is close to my max now.
    I?m betting in the next day it will go way over what I?m willing to do for a want, by a couple hundred.
    For your sake anyway. :D
