Thinking about picking up a double barrel, side by side, 20 gauge. I'd like to only have one trigger and for the cost to be in the $500 range. Anyone know of any good matches?

I have a Stoeger 20 Gauge Premium Hammerless Coach gun that I bought last year for $329. It's been a pretty good gun. It's mainly for home defense but I take it to the range and shoot a couple of rounds of skeet with it about once every couple of months. It's probably had 500 rounds through it. I like it and I think its a darn good deal for the money.

The Coach gun only has 20" barrels but I think you can get the same gun with barrels in 24", 26" and 28" if you want. The price on all of them is less than $500. Most are less than $400. You can also get single or double trigger and pretty much any choke configuration you want on the barrels.

I think these guns are made in Turkey and I've heard people bad mouth them but I think that is just prejudice from the guys that shoot the $4000 shotguns and think its a better gun because it cost more. Get some other opinions but beware the snobbery. :rolleyes: It's rampant when it comes to shotguns for clay shooting and bird hunting.

Change your one trigger requirement and look for an old Stevens.

First one should work.
