    Anyone familiar with the Baikal IZH 61?

    It's supposed to be a quiet rifle and is not expensive. I figured it might be a good choice for our 6 yard comps with open sights, or 10 meters with optical.

    (?)

    Yes, I know this is the Air Pistols section.

    Never seen one of these before, looks like a unique design. The five shot mag sounds good is this connected to the side lever? Also is the piston located in the telescopic stock. If so I bet the balance is good but what is it like to fire.
    As this is the pistol section seems fair to bring up the Baikal MP612. This also has a rear mounted power plant, is a repeater and is a very unique design. Unfortunetly I have onle seen this in the prototype section of spring air pistols by John Griffiths.

    Fired one a couple of months ago. Very easy to cock with the side lever, so ideal for juniors as an entry weapon. Surprisingly accurate over 10 yards. Not much of a groove if you were thinking of a scope, but no problems with open sights. Make sure the mag doesn't ping off into the undergrowth when you set to re-load.
    It may be weird looking but feels fine and fun to shoot.

    Pyramyd Air is always pushing them: usually touting the quietness. They do sometimes offer them with a scope, as a kit/combo.

    The price is good. Unless I hear some horror stories, I think I'm going to get one.
