I was wondering if I could get some help. I am looking at purchasing a side by side shotgun, 1 trigger, 12ga, that will shoot slugs, steel shot and lead. I shoot an 870 right now that does all that and I love, it, but want a double barrel. I am looking at a Baikal, because it is very reasonably priced. Is this a good gun, and if not, what would bee a good bun reasonably priced???

Inexpensive shotguns oft work for light duty, but will not last generations like good shotguns, including the 870.
You might look around for a Savage. The old 311 model is around used,and it's very durable and will fulfill most missions. I've no experience with the Baikal.

I had an American Arms 10ga. for while.I used in for duck hunting.It was a great pass shooting gun.It was fine for steel shot.My advice would be to get a 12ga. in this brand and have a gunsmith put Remington 700 sights on it.That is what I have done on several shotguns.Than you can sight it in for about anything.I made some pretty long shots at ducks with it because I knew exactly where my shot pattern was hitting at 40yds and beyond.And you know what the real benefit to this kind of hunting was for me? After I did this for a couple of years I found out that shooting running deer and coyotes out in the open was a whole lot easier.This kind of shooting taught me a whole lot about leading moving game of anykind.
