BAIKAL 12G / .222 COMBINATION OVER AND UNDER SHOTGUN / RIFLE.
Model IZH – 94 Over and Under Rifle and Shotgun Combination gun in 12g . .222 calibre from Baikal. Came in from the same customer a NEVER FIRED 12 year plus old .223 Howa Rifle. This is not quite as old and when bought Brand New he DOES recall POSSIBLY ‘taking it out to try’. That was it! A such MAYBE a maximum half dozen shots through each barrel at absolute most. ‘Tucked’ it away into his cabinet to wait for the ‘perfect’ time to start and use it. Life changed on a number of fronts and shooting waned offering little to zero real requirement for this. As such now in and up for sale to anyone wanting one of these Very Versatile Guns.
60cm Multi Choke Barrel but no spares. There never was. Currently fitted with Full Restriction and the .222 Rifle Barrel set below. This appears to be adjustable to point of impact too looking at the screw / fittings just forward of the forend.
14 3/8 (365mm) Stock. Making an overall length of a Very Compact 40 1/8” (1020mm), weighing in at 8 lbs 2 oz (3.68 Kg).
A GOOD Strong Straight Grain Stock and all in unmarked condition throughout.
This is basically as NEW an example of one of these as you will find and are ever likely to get chance of. (Other than now direct in Russia)! If you have ever used or wanted to own one of these then my suggestion is not to hang about. They are not a gun that appears for sale regularly so an opportunity not to miss. Open Sights along with a Machined Standard Width Dovetail to the top of the Chamber area. Easy enough to mount a Suitable Scope, Red Dot Sight and even NV units.

THE LEAD SHOT DEBACLE?:
FIRST THING: Given lead is SO dangerous, can we ask about getting every lead water main replaced? After all, ANYONE with one of those still supplying water has zero choice. LETS PUT THAT QUESTION TO HEALTH AND SAFETY EXECUTIVE AS WELL AS THE GOVERNMENT.
That is every child’s grazed knee washed out with lead infested water (direct into their blood stream. Every glass of juice. Every cup of tea or coffee, Vegetables washed and cooked in the stuff. ALL that DELICIOUS Gravy. Cloths washed in it. Then we bath in the sodding lead infested stuff!
HOW DO THEY DEFEND THIS FACT?
THEN THERE ARE more and more Non-Toxic Shot alternatives being produced. WITH near matching performances to traditional lead and close to, if not matching pressures. Take a look at Horton Gunmakers for their own entry into this debacle of modern-day shooting. IF it’s so lethally deadly to shooters and game eaters, how is it every old lead water main supply pipe is not getting ripped out and replaced? To my mind it’s a DISGRACE that the shooting industry did not simply ask that one simple question. NO, they saw an excuse to charge a fortune and that mainly to the detriment of the quarry. Just my opinion …..for what its worth?
Anyway, take a look for yourself:
NOW, to TRY and help speed up availability I WILL also suggest that YOU pass on details to everyone you know who shoots. Then ALL of us start to ask whoever we buy from why they are not DEMANDING cartridges made in this material? Basically VOTE with your WALLET.
YES, it will take a little time for everything to filter through but patience IS a virtue. It also allows everyone who wants to keep hold of their ‘old favourite’ for the rest of their lives. Even pass it on to the next generation and hopefully beyond!
On that note I AM looking into the possibility of stocking some direct from Steve at Hortons. RING for an update and keep checking the web site.
