Buds has a USSG double rifle which is made by Baikal (sp?) I'm told. They have them listed in 30-06 and also 45-70 and they are priced below $800.

I have no way of knowing is this is a bargain rifle or an expensive lesson on the folly of being a tightwad. The 45-70 sounds like a fun platform for launching cast bullets, and I suspect it would be just the ticket if giant sand worms break into my rec room!

Any experience with these guns?

Baikals are well worth the money for a DR, and you can regulate them yourself. It is not a Heym by any means, but it is cheap. Get the 45-70.
