When did Remington start stamping Russia guns?
And from what I saw it seemed like the better guns got Branded as Baikal and the passable seconds got branded as Remington. The 20 ga Remington I had was rough. The Baikal I got in trade for it was a better fitted gun and even though the guns were part for part identical the Baikal gun just seemed to have been more carefully crafted. That’s something for name recognition though, to trade a better gun for a lesser gun even just because you recognize the brand even though they come off of the same production line. Mine were both SxS guns (as was my 12g Savage also made by Baikal). Not bad at anything but also not especially great at anything either so they all went to new homes.For a year or two in the late 00s IIRC, Remington put its name on Baikals and sold them as their low end line.
This one is stamped 08. I am not sure what years they were made. It feels like a solid rifle. I am tempted to shoot it.
I saw the GB Auction for $700 and another for $600 on another site. I am guessing these were $250-$350 when they first came out?
Thanks for the replies.
