General Comments

I bought a Baikal IZH-53M as my first airgun when I was twelve. I love this gun.
Accuracy=80% not quite perfect..177 calibre
Power=3-4joules. Which isn't bad for a beginners gun.
Finish=nice looking,Well made.
Price=I got mine from J S Ramsbottom.£33 uk
Pellets to use=Crosman Accupell-good
Nickerson waisted pellets=The best for the gun
Dont use Elley Wasps they are slightly too big and have a lower muzzle velocity!!
Purpose/summary/conclusion It is a great gun for beginners. It is perfect up to 25m and I can hit a playing card at that. It is not designed for hunting. You'd have to be cruel to hunt with this. A pidgeon will laugh at you. It's best as a match gun. I personally will recommend either the Webley Hurricane for pest control.

    Hey man... I got mine a while ago from an advert page in "air gunner magazine"... the shop is called "J.S Ramsbottom" .... they are very friendly staff and easy to deal with, my gun came within a few days, i would reccoment them!! jsramsbottom dot com... That is the web page, the gun now appears to be £34.95, but that isn't a large difference! Hope i have helped!
