??OT-Remington SPR22 Double Rifle??
Any of the people here ever seen one of these rifles? Remington imported them from Russia and advertised them for only 1 year ( I think 2006). They only listed 2 calibers 30-06 and 45-70. Really I'm interested in the quality moreso than the availibility. Thanks, Tom
Was it this one; http://www.baikalinc.ru/en/company/99.html ?
Made by Biakel I think. Biakel use to be the butt of many a joke over here for years but it was unfounded really as they have allways made robust guns. All the ones I have owned have never failed and I use a super imposed 410 of theirs now. The allways look a bit plain but for the Rem connection they are smartened up some. I,d guess they are just fine.

[what kind of issues did they have?]
The issues were that they never made it into the US, either by Remington import or earlier when EAA had the franchise.
I know, because I put down a 100% deposit on two, 1 .45-70 & 1 .30-06, when they were introduced, waited 10mos before getting my dealer, his distributor & EAA all on the same conference call to find out when my order would be filled.
I ended up getting a 100% refund, and went on to something else from my dealer.

The Baikal doubles made it into the UK, Canada and Australia - odd that there is a hitch in the US.
How difficult would it be to bring one across the border from Canada?
