Baikal IZH 46M

[PhatMan]

Joncaddy,

My '46M is usually fed RWS R10 Pistol (7.0 gr.) and/or JSB Match (Green, 7.33 gr.), and it shoots both of these equally accurately.

WRT 'field' pellets, the Izzy also shoots JSB RS, Express & Exact really well too

I really like my Izzy

From the shooting I have done from the bench at 10 to 20 meters, the Izzy has matched the grouping of my FWB65 & Diana Mod 10 vintage springers.

Just make sure you keep the seals well lubricated - I use motorcycle fork oil (Fuchs/Silkolene SAE 30).

Have fun & a good weekend

Best regards

Russ

I borrowed one for a period of 2 months and put 2 tins of Excite wadcutters through it (£2.99 from Knibbs)
Crazy accurate with those ....found the tigher fitting Hobby not so good and H&N match finale outstanding but a tenner a tin.
I gave it back with mixed feelings. Super accurate but quite an unwieldly and none pistol looking piece of kit.
The gun in question had the grip mods aforementioned but didnt suit me.
I wouldnt mind trying an ambi sports grip should one ever come out as a sport pistol.

The 46m was my first competition pistol, and it won me a few local matches. An excellent air pistol though too heavy for me, so I set about making it lighter. Managed to get it down to 1070 grams before I moved on to a Pardini pistol. This picture shows my finished 46m along with a stock pistol for comparison.
