Does anyone know anything about this rifle? Is it worth the money.
I have an IZH46M and love it. Thanks

Re: Baikal MP532 Air Rifle
I too have owned the IHZ-46 and was looking into buying the 532. The 532 is apparently the same mechanism as the 46 with a longer barrel and rifle stock. I have read that it therefore has similar accuracy, build quality, etc. There are several reports of the stock having a weak area and many, if not most, having cracks. Over the years I have not seen too many posts on them, but that is what I have gleemed. The new price appears high per these reports, but a used one in the sub $300 range would be appealing.

At a previous Shot Show I played with the 532 at the EAA booth and noted that they has redesigned the stock to be beefier in the pistol grip area, where they had breakage problems in the past.
The do not seem nearly as common, though that may be due to the 2x price of the IZH-46M. If the price was the same as a TAU-200, I bet they would sell a lot more of them.

Re: Baikal MP532 Air Rifle
Nice to hear about the grip improvement. I would almost certainly buy a new one in the $300-$350 range. $450-500 seems excessive.
