I had an older one that I bought in 2000 but I have not tested a newer version (more plastic).

I have a new one. Its fun to shoot. Easy to load. Gives reasonable groupings at 10m. I was unhappy with the plastic reciever when I purchased mine in August. 1000 pellets later it still works great, so it can't be that crappy. My major complaint would be the plastic reciever is un forgiving when you mount a scope. I wish I could buy a metal reciever and convert mine over to that.

Still worth the money however. Its quite fun to shoot; you can rip off 5 aimed shots in under 10 seconds pretty easy. The mags are a little hard to load if you have big hands.

Pic of mine here with the rest of my collection:

The price on the Baikal IZH-61 is only $119 at GMK Armoury. They have several in stock too.

Think of the IZH as a novelty and fun gun. Something to get when you run out of better guns to get.

The magazine holes are over size and most pellet falls through, PITA. Once the magazine is loaded, you are OK. Side lever cocking and magazine indexing is easy and pretty slick. It has low power. My mod and tuned IZH61 shoots about 460fps with 8g wadcutters pellets. That is the maximum you can ever get out of it, so no point in modding the sucker. The butt stock is a bit short and loose. You might have to drill extra holes to extend it and secure it.
The main complaint with the IZH61 is the new plastic breech. This little gun would have been a real gem if the breech was metal. My plastic breech is so badly aligned that the scope rail is totally useless. I have to install a barrel mounted scope rail to properly mount a scope or a red dot.
Good points about the little guy is that it is very easy to cock. 5 shot repeater that feeds well once you get the magazine loaded. It is very accurate. Once the stock is properly adjusted it is a very easy gun to hold and use. The shooting cycle is very mild. It has an excellent trigger.

Got my Izzy 61 about a month ago - it has the plastic receiver. Immediatly tore it down and home-tuned it. I honed the cylinder, deburred everything and made a new 3in. spring guide from a cut-down half-inch bolt. One layer of shrink tube on the guide and it fit perfectly into a cut-down spring I took out of my non-PAL HW 97. Everything went back together and the results were, well, mixed! The little gun shot reasonably well at about 525 fps using Hobbies, giving half-inch groups at 10 m. The downside was, it shook itself almost to death every time it went off! The cocking lever jumped off it's catch and whacked my fingers. The magazine mis-indexed. Cocking the gun required enough force to significantly mis-align the rear stock and it was LOUD! After a few days playing with it I decided to replace the spring with the spare that came with the gun. I left in the heavy spring guide. Much to my surprise, the MV only dropped to 500 fps. And the gun became an absolute hoot to shoot! It is very accurate - one-holers are easy shooting off-hand at 10 meters with the open sights. It is quiet as can be and the cocking cycle is smooth and positive. I found the trigger soft but I think it just needs some tinkering. All in all, I'm delighted with the gun and feel it was well worth the price! HTH

Hi GnoM,

Welcome aboard!

Nice rifles! The IZH-60, with metal receiver, would be nice to have. I sure enjoyed my IZH-61. Very easy cocking effort, good accuracy, cool appearance.

Thanks,
Todd

How do you remove the rear sight from the IZH61 without breaking it off?
