I did get a reply from Baikal this evening. They said that the 30.06 was currently available and in production, and that the 45/70 was awaiting government approvals to be imported. ***This rifle is made in the .30-06 chambering. The .45-70 GOV version may appear sometime later in 2006. The gun needsd certification for the US market.
All the best, BAIKAL ***
I also received a reply from Remington ... stating that the rifles would be available at the end of the third quarter of 2006. **** Response (Howerton) - 04/03/2006 08:09 AM Dear Kerry:
Thanks for visiting Remington Country! We appreciate your interest and support of Remington products. Based on current production schedules, which are subject to change without notice, we show the SPR22 available late 3rd quarter of 2006. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused!~ ***
So ... we'll see! :rolleyes:
