I did get a reply from Baikal this evening.

The .45-70 GOV version may appear sometime later in 2006. The gun needsd certification for the US market.
All the best, BAIKAL ***
I have read at least one report of a 30-06 shooting off face within a few shots. May have been a random problem. Still too early to tell.
