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.

I had a break single shot 12G and it kicked like a mule but it was fun as hell so I say go for it!

The first shotgun I ever shot was a 20 gauge single shot Baikal.

Hell yeah. I think they're cheap enough that you can get some decent use out of them but doing a little work if you want to. Either way, for an OU or SxS they're probably a pretty accessible avenue for entry.
