http://www.spartangunworks.com/spr22.htm Hey guys... Here's something that's actually new in the hunting rifle and combo gun world. Double guns for the budget minded blue collar hunter. Click around a bit and you'll find shotguns, shotgun/rimfire combos, shotgun/centerfire combos... etc. Some interesting stuff. Anyone know what the warranty is and if it's honored at Remington? Edit... Well I just got told that this is the same line that EAA had but I still think it's interesting and should sell well with Remington's backing. $bob$  | ||

Great in the two calibers I would never want in a double rifle! | ||

Yeah... I noticed that too... Maybe more calibers later....  $bo$ | |||

If you search the big bore forum you will find a thread on these there. | |||

Wow, a double rifle for 500 bucks!? Most probably as sturdy as typical Russian guns. Would be great for our driven hunts. | |||

i have been "on" this for 2 years... first with eaa, then directly with baikal, and now remington.. interestingly enough, the answer "late next summer" follow by "early spring" has been the standard answer. I spoke with remington yesterday, and the answer went from april to 3rd quarter 2005 i can't wait to get one jeffe opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

NOTE: For Use with SAAMI Compliant Loads Only (28,000 PSI / 28,000 CUP Operating Pressure). Is the above pressure restriction going to limit this rifles use as a DGR in 45-70 or would one rechamber it for a longer cartridge?  Join the NRA | |||

Savage99, Good question... Wouldn't it make a dandy grizz rifle though? They're only 7.5lbs and although I'm not a big 45-70 fan it sure makes a tempting combination for the hunter on a budget. $bob$ | |||

jeffe, I assume that you mean for the rifles? The shotguns are available on Gunbroker now. $bob$ | |||

Looks a lot like a Savage 24V, with fewer calibers available. Maybe they'll do the .243/20 gauge that Savage would not. TomP Our country, right or wrong. When right, to be kept right, when wrong to be put right. Carl Schurz (1829 - 1906) | |||

Yup, no Garrett butt kickers fired in that rifle. But, I would still buy one cause the price is right, comapred to a chaupis brousse for 12 grand. | |||

Anyone know whether these take down like regular doubles, or are simply break-action? --- Eric Ching "The pen is mightier than the sword...except in a swordfight." | |||

According to the manufacturer, still in preproduction stage: http://www.baikalinc.ru/eng/prod/rifle/mr221/ | |||

Even keeping you loads at Trapdoor pressures you can still load the 300grain bullets to 1900fps, the 350grain bullets to 1715fps, and the 400 grain bullets to 1799fps. [source: Speer and Hornady loading book] These loads will work fine for deer, pigs, black bear over bait and even elk in the timber. I will probably have to have one.  I will tell my wife it is to be her "Training Double Rifle". DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||

For the price one could learn a lot about double rifles. Just playing with it it one ruin one or other wise one would not be out a lot. I'll most likely buy one it woudl make a great swamp gun for a great gun for bears in front of hounds. | |||

The .308 would be a very strange choice for a double rifle, high pressure, short, no rim... Even the 7.62x54 R would make more sense and would be "classier" out of a Russian gun. | |||

I don't get that comment. If the rifle is designed and engineered to use high pressure, rimless cartridges, who cares? I think I would rather get the single shot rifle. | |||
