20GA over & under or side by side

[JesusCow]

I want something strickly for flying animals and clay. I'd like it to be 20GA since I have a 20GA Saiga, and I'd perfer to not have to buy different ammo for every gun.

Anyways, I want something cheap. I don't know how cheap it goes and know nothing about the market for these types of guns.

I want something that is similar to what the old guy at the skeet range has (except not a .410). It seems like so much fun.

I've shot thousands of clay using my Saiga and simply love it. Although, as many clay shooters know, my Saiga's 19" barrell will not cut it. It works, but takes more time.

So, please give me some suggestions for over & under clay-blasting-scatter-guns! Super cheap to cheap!

edit: Out of curiousity I checked out what EAA had and I like the one in the link except the price. Am I going to find something ~$200?

My friend has a really old Stevens pump that doesnt operate, but it sure looks mean! Very classic looking.

Thanks, I'm going to call around and see if there are any around me. I'll also ask at the gun show in the next few weeks.

O/U's and SxS's are expensive. period.



sorry!

They don't have to be expensive

IIRC I paid $225 for my 311 20g in excellent condition. Fine shooting gun that should give my grandchildren some use. But if you're shooting clays, I think the concensus is to go with an O/U and I don't know anything about cheap backwards doubles.

JC - go to McBrides and see what they have. I'm a huge fan of 20 ga. Thought about an 870/1100? I have less than 600 in both of mine.

If you want cheap look at Stoeger. If you want a little better look at Tristar.

Stoeger runs around $350 and Tristar $500.
