Gun and gear reviews Should I get a Baikal shotgun?

I’m in the market for my first shotgun, mainly for clays. I’ve been seeing over under and side by side Baikal shotguns for super cheap on intersurplus. Are these ultra cheap shotguns worth it or am I basically buying a project/scrap.

Check out intersurplus.com they have alot of options in that price range like Valmet, Brno, Husqavarna and Beretta. Baikal shotguns are great but in my opinion the manufacturers I named are superior and truly the best value in that price range.

The Brno ZHXXX models are some funky guns! The pivot is above the bottom barrel so the whole block has to slide back in order for the barrels to swing down! It's also just a push button to take the whole front off, no need to remove the forestock. Supposedly they can be less reliable but if you're diligent with your cleaning it should be fine.
