Could this be the new, long-awaited, post-Remington purchase, Marlin-Baikal ?

WOW!

Spaceage for sure.

Blaine · Post by **Blaine** » Thu Dec 23, 2010 2:53 pm

If it is a Baikal, I expect it will be extremely utile.

I guess that could appeal to somebody??

Not in my gun safe you don't.

Guns are supposed to be made of walnut and blue steel. No plastic please.

Not unless it comes equipped with one of them Hollywood Starlets that you would see carrying something like that in one of those stupid shoot em up movies they make nowadays.

Looks like some Beretta in the mix as well. I hate to admit it, but I kinda like it.

Barrett looks funny, too......With many one mile kills to Barrett's credit, the rags are not laughing.

Wouldn't be caught dead in the woods with that one

Accuracy must be limited, with that bipod attached to the barrel.

Well, it surely doesn't fire me up.

It is not near as Pretty as a Winchester 94 to say the least, but that "Carry Handle" a foot above the rifle makes it look really Ugly !

Kinda like Rusty says, Don't give me no platic saddle when I ride!!

COSteve · Post by **COSteve** » Fri Dec 24, 2010 12:41 am

Absolutely the worst place to attach a bi-pod!

Where is the lever on that thing. + 1 on the Bi pod location.

JohnM · Post by **JohnM** » Fri Dec 24, 2010 9:04 am

Is that a Mattel? And what's that fragile-looking long tall bulky thingy sitting on top of a utilty fence post bullet pusher?

Anyway, "function is, as function does."

It ought be available in pink, tho. Y'know, just so's the color would match the overall design.

Not to mention what appears to be zero eye relief.

Looks like someone threw it together for a picture.

Not sure that I would admit that.

I will!

It's a .22 so eye relief isn't super critical, the bi-pod looks like it was put on just for the pic (at least I hope so

), the forearm looks like it would fit the hand or shooting bags reasonably well and the other ergonomics don't look too bad. According to EAA's website, the MSRP is $340 so I would expect a street price of around $300. Not bad IMO.

My main concerns would be parts availability if/when EAA drops the line and the trigger. The couple of Russian semi-auto .22s I've shot had less than desirable trigger pulls. And I'm not real picky about trigger pulls so that's saying something.
