Unlike guns intended only for [[plinking]], several features of competition guns such as the IZH-46M mark it as designed for high-precision shooting. For instance, the IZH-46M's rear sight can be adjusted for windage/elevation, and the trigger is adjustable for position, travel, and pull. The gun can also be dry-fired without charging. The ergonomic grip features an adjustable handrest. |

The Baikal IZH-46M is the current production run of the original Baikal IZH-46. The only visible and mechanical difference is the IZH-46M is built with a slightly longer (0.5" or 12 mm +/-) air compression cylinder. As all other components except chamber length and piston stroke are the same, visually the original IZH-46 barrel appears to extend further beyond the air compression cylinder than the current IZH-46M. The extra length of the air compression cylinder allows the 46M to have a {{convert|60|ft/s|m/s|abbr=on}} increase in muzzle velocity over the original 46. The IZH-46M has a muzzle velocity of approximately {{convert|470|ft/s|m/s|abbr=on}}.< |

The Baikal IZH-46M is a competition-grade, single-shot pneumatic air gun, with a hammer-forged, rifled barrel. The gun is charged with a single stroke of an underlever cocking arm.
Unlike guns intended only for plinking, several features of competition guns such as the IZH-46M mark it as designed for high-precision shooting. For instance, the IZH-46M's rear sight can be adjusted for windage/elevation, and the trigger is adjustable for position, travel, and pull. The gun can also be dry-fired without charging. The ergonomic grip features an adjustable handrest.
The Baikal IZH-46M is the current production run of the original Baikal IZH-46. The only visible and mechanical difference is the IZH-46M is built with a slightly longer (0.5" or 12 mm +/-) air compression cylinder. As all other components except chamber length and piston stroke are the same, visually the original IZH-46 barrel appears to extend further beyond the air compression cylinder than the current IZH-46M. The extra length of the air compression cylinder allows the 46M to have a 60 ft/s (18 m/s) increase in muzzle velocity over the original 46. The IZH-46M has a muzzle velocity of approximately 470 ft/s (140 m/s).[1] In either original IZH46 or current IZH46M form, the pistol is a very consistent shooting precision 10 m airgun.
Though more expensive than many commonly available airguns, the IZH-46M is inexpensive in comparison to many similarly featured competition guns.
