The Baikal IJ 27 a Russian made shotgun that you can buy in sporting and regular models, and is recommended by many as a great choice of gun for clay shooting / trapping.
It’s more commonly known as the Baikal IZH 27, and is available in two basic varieties – sporting and classic. It comes with two barrel lengths – 28 or 26 inches, and has three choke tubes.
The Baikal IJ27 has been available in the United States for more than 30 years now, ever since an inspired US trading company swapped a warehouse of computer equipment for a warehouse of Baikal shotguns with a company in the Soviet Union known as Izhvesk Mechanical Works. In Russia they’re more commonly known by their abbreviated name – IZHMASH – but in the US, you probably know them best as the company that makes the legendary AK-47, or Kalashnikov.
The IJ27 is a reliable option, that you can buy for about $400-450 new.
