A mate of mine had one of those, to be fair it outshot my BSA.

It may have!, never thought about it.That said another mate had a Daisy pump-up at the same time that out-shot both the Baikal and the BSA........he shoots an AR now!.

Not one I bought, but I really miss the .22lr 8-shot 1936 Burgo revolver I had when I was 14. I swapped a frisbee for it.

First gun I ever bought....bought new about 12 years ago, my Ruger 10/22 is still happily taking up cabinet space, and will never be sold
First gun bought for me.... 33 years ago a .177 Webley Tempest from my Mum and Dad, long sold for fag money when I was 15(ish). I still really appreciate them buying it for me as they were both very non-gun friendly (still are!) but they knew it was something I had set my heart on.... thankssign

The first 12 guns I bought with my own money were semi auto centre fire and pistols...

Feckers!!
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!
