| I've been thinking about adding a coach gun to my collection. Mostly just a collection piece as stated and only occasional range time. Given the amount of expected use I want to keep the price down but I of course still want reliable quality. Right now my eye is on a Stoeger Coach Gun Silverado in 12ga. Anyone have one, shot one, etc.... What are you experiences with it. Other recommendation welcome too, looking to keep it under $500. |

I have a basic model Stoeger Coach Gun and have no complaints other than its action was very stiff when new and tough to break open. This improved with a little use. The gun has a healthy kick, but otherwise has been a perfectly good, stout and well-made shotgun. I regard it as a good value for those like me who "need" a double barreled gun but don't want to spend a fortune. From what I have seen of this one model I'd say the company's products are good to go.

I have one with double triggers, its a ton of fun and always a good conversation starter at the range. Definitely look into a good recoil pad though

I got an old Stevens 3xx series SxS. Chrome lined barrels. Hardly used. Very good price. Less the $200.
I cut the barrels down to 18 1/2" and cleaned it up a bit. Shoots great. It's my go to gun. Just something to think about. Don't get me wrong, Stoeger makes a fine shotgun. I also have a M2000 I use for 3-gun. |
