Well there's the cost of the extra barrel and trigger/lockwork required to use both.
Then you also need to regulate both to hit same POA with the same shot stack. (50/50, 60/40 etc) |

They are easy to build. They are extremely difficult to build correctly. Lots of hand work needed to get those two barrels shooting to the same place.

why would this be any different than an O\U.

And then you get to wonder why over/unders are so much more than side-by-sides....
I have pumps, side-by-side, and over/under shotguns - I don't have a semi-auto shotfun (suppose I should remedy that)....

Side by sides, both rifles and shotguns, are difficult to regulate properly

The good ones are usually built really well, they can't just be slapped together like a pump.
There is also some prestige involved when you buy a well made upland gun, so I am sure that is in the price as well. |

Are they that complicated to build? Yes, of course they are. This should be obvious after thinking about them for about 30 seconds. |

Most of the newer SxS and O/U use one trigger and a safety that lets you select which barrel you want to shoot first making it a more complicated mechanism than a pump or semi auto. Getting the double barrels to align properly and shoot properly is more difficult as well as opposed to a single barrel.

I just picked up an old Sears 20" 12 gauge double.
Frankly, it's just fun to shoot, especially with 00 buck. Good gun to have around. You can bust some ass with 36 .32 caliber pellets. |

Indexing of barrels and the lock and trigger mechanism that is a complex mechanism that must be built by skilled hands if it is going to last 50,000-100,000+ rounds is no easy task.
Cheap and quality are two words you won't see together when describing SXS/O/U. |

This is a great video of one of the nicest bespoke manufacturing facilities in the world. They make their own screws. Skip to 10:30'ish where he starts regulating barrels. Its a sxs rifle, but similar principle.

I have a Rossi Overland just like the one in this video. It is early 70's vintage, and has very little use. I took it out a couple weeks ago and put some #8 through it, good fun.

As to answer the OPs question, look at Stoeger shotguns. They're cheap. The reason most O/U and SxS shotguns are expensive is the craftsmanship. The people buying shotguns in that market are looking for quality. Shoot one and find out for yourself. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Mossy 930s run good, and dont break the bank. I paid 500 for mine, I have a total of 650 wrapped up in the gun with a coat of rustoliem and a PA micro.

I haven't shot trap in a long time, but I can probably still shoot a 21 to 23 out of 25 if I had my old O/U upland gun, or Beretta A400. Give me that Mossberg and I'd be lucky to get 18. I see a lot of the "Herp but Mossberg" and "Derp my 870" on here. When you really get into shotguns be it trap, skeet, sporting clays, or hunting it matters. I have talked my friends into better semi autos. SX3s and a Montefeltro. I then cast and dropped the stock to fit them. Guess what - I don't outshoot them too often anymore. |
