Has anyone here any comments or expierance with sparton shotguns ?? I understand they are imported from russia for remington ?? Also wondering how many prefer over/under to side by side for sporting clays ?? Some users say side by side is preferable because its easier to lead with . :confused:
 
I have an older Baikal SxS 12ga from back when they were being imported by EAA. The Spartan guns are made by Baikal and are pretty much the same guns they've always been, as far as I know Remington just took over importation and put it in the contract that they give the Spartan name guns better fit and finish, so they're a little nicer looking. The Baikal I have is pretty nice for the money, I've seen alot worse. Of course I've seen alot nicer. But I like the Baikal because it is a workhorse, the action's a little tight but it will solid shoot. And I can do things with it I would be loathe to do with a pricier double, i.e. knocking it about the woods getting dirty and scratched up. Like I said, for the money they're good little guns.
 
Dont do it I just ordered a single for a christmas present and I sent it back because it was the roughest gun I have ever seen, the wood was terrible and the end of the barrel was not even blued.

I still can't figure out why the end of the barrel wasn't blued.

mastinson : Sorry to hear that , i wonder if that was a fluke . Did you buy it via internet ??un seen ? The two i saw were brand new on a rack at (of all places K Mart ) they looked really nice to me ,I just dont know how they shoot,i was looking for some input . maybe i should post this on the general forum . but tnx .
 
Mine and all I've examined look great, pretty but not goddy. In fact I think they're the best deal going right now at lest in the 220 lineup.
