Feedback on Stoeger Coach Gun Supreme?

I think you would be better served with a Standard Uplander or Coach gun. The Supreme has had issues with the single trigger and ejectors. I used a standard Uplander for years and it always worked.

I've got a 20g Uplander that I love for grouse.
Fit and finish are what you would expect for a gun in that price range, but then again, I don't mind dragging it through prickly brush either.
Mechanically, the gun does what I want it to.

I've been shooting cowboy for a little over four years. The best advice I can give anyone who is interested in getting started is to come on out to a match. You can see what other folks are using and make comparisons.

The Stoeger Coach Guns are pretty popular. Some folks have found the single trigger guns to be a little tempermental. The two trigger models are less expensive and are generally reliable.

If I were buying a double in that general price range I prefer the Baikal coach gun. It is less expensive than the Stoeger and I think it is better built.

The Stoeger or the Baikal is not exactly "match ready" out of the box. Happily, they can be slicked up for a modest price.

Welcome!

Way back when I use to use an uplander in 12 gage for SAS. Never could get use the 97's and the coach guns never felt right. Double triggers worked for me. Plain and simple is the best approach IMO. I never felt disadvantaged with a double, never had a jamb and never fretted over that gun like I did with the others.
Recently shot some very informal clays with it and kept pulling on the same trigger. That's embarrassing because I usually miss on the first shot/ trigger.
Take crunchy frog's advise and visit a match. See what others are using. Most likely every cowboy there will offer the use of their iron.
Stoegers are a bit rough around the edges so don't spend a lot of money on them. Hone chambers smooth out the pivot and call it good. You don't need choke tubes or a single trigger setup.

I recently bought my mom a Baikal 20ga. O/U and its a good shotgun for the price. Its solid and TIGHT, not the prettiest, but with most Russian guns, it works well so far (200 target shells through it).

But I did not like the fact that it used an automatic safety. When you open to load, it switches on, caused me to miss a few clays, yes operator error I know, but it was odd for me. Barrel gets very hot to. Other then that it points well and was fun and easy to shoot.

Have fun!

Howdy Chanroc, I've been shooting in SASS for over 10 years. The Stoeger and Baikals are good shotguns. Not the cream of the crop, but they are good.

Now trust me on this, forget the 20ga., get the 12ga. Very few folks shoot a 20. Not even the women or kids.

The 12 is much is much more versatile as far as loading down or buying different loads. And you can find cheaper ammo as well!

You will also find that it well worth the $100+ to invest in an action slick up job which will shave a lot of time off your scores, as well as save you frustration.

Goatneck is the Stoeger man and Gunslinger is the Baikal expert. If you PM me I can give you their contact info.

Good Luck and prepare yourself for the most fun shooting!

I've had two Stoeger coach guns. A standard and later a supreme, both double trigger and 12 Guage. I liked them, the Stoeger stock happens to actually fit me very well. They area decent quality, for the price. If they happen to fit you.
I found I really didn't utilize the interchangeable chokes on the Supreme. Plus I preferred the finish on the standard. The Supreme just looked like it had a thick coat of lacquer on it.
If/when I get another? I'll just get a standard and probably 20 Guage. Since I just use it for casual clay shooting and grouse.

I would put no value on removable chokes for a cowboy action shotgun. All of my shotguns are cylinder bore (cuz they are all cut down) which is what I need for the short range shooting we do. Many people are surprised how little spread there is in the shot patterns.

I definitely agree that 12 gauge is the way to go.

I'd buy a different gun for clays or hunting.
