Coach Gun

[Big D]

Hey yall. Although I was wantin' to get another 870, one of the local shops has a mint condition stainless/nickel Stoeger Coachgun Supreme with interchangeable choke tubes for $325 sticker price. Its a damn good lookin' and fine handlin' shotgun. Do yall think thats a good deal for a slightly used coachgun?

 

[snooperman]

Yes , very good price

That one is over $400 in these parts. Buy it now.

That's a good price. I've never owned a Stoeger, but they have a good rep.

"...stainless/nickel..." Blued with an SS receiver. MSRP is $469. Chokes are IC and M. Extended C, IC, M, IM, and F choke tubes can be purchased. Aside from the CAS market they're aimed at, they make good upland bird guns.

Aside from the CAS market they're aimed at...

I always thought they were aimed at scaring off my daughter's gentleman callers... I'll have to look into this CAS thing!

I bought my Spartan coach gun specifically for hunting dove. It's a great little dove gitter and I've even shot some ducks with it using 3" steel loads. They're loading 3" fast steel in 20 now. I wanna try some of that stuff on ducks. Love the little thing for general hunting up to ducks. The choke tubes are what sold me.

I gave 299 for my Spartan. At that price, get the gun. You won't regret it. It's the most useful shotgun I've yet owned. I hunt with it, leave it in the bedroom with buckshot for safe room defense, it makes a good combination gun (slug/shot) for hunting and general woods bumming, great camping or back packers gun. It can break down and stash in a back pack or a set of motorcycle saddle bags which, in my case, is one of the other reasons I got it. I got it in 20 gauge because I knew the 12 would be a shoulder pounder, have an old 28" 12 SxS I hunted with for years before steel shot. And, well, I've got 3 12s and didn't have a 20 and I wanted one. While 12 is more versatile, 20 is just cool. Next, maybe I'll look for a 16 or 28. I have an old single barrel 16, always liked 16 gauge for some reason, probably just because it's different.

Well, I went and got it yesterday afternoon....boy is she a beauty....now I have a real boomstick goead! Pics will be forthcoming, as well as a report of my range trip I plan to take this afternoon.

BID D you will like it

A friend of mine , on the next farm down the road, has one . His is Remington , Russian Baikal, with choke tubes , and says he uses it more than any other shotgun: Home defense, dove and quail gun, truck gun , camping, etc. Like the other gentleman said as well, in responding, what's not to like about it. My birthday is coming up soon and my wife has promised me one. You got a good gun for a very reasonable price. Enjoy it.

I'd come pertnear to trading wives with you! My wife doesn't like guns.

Well fellers, I just got back from the first range trip with my new Boomstick....she did pretty good. I haven't deduced what chokes it has in it, but she patterns rather nicely. I did notice with the Winchester Univ. Value Pack shells I ran through it that it was noticebly harder to breech after firing these, as opposed to Federal and Remington. I just love the BOOM BOOM back to back, and then how the smoke eases out of the chamber mouth as you reload....talk about a warm fuzzy feelin! Overall, I am extremely pleased with it. I also ran some rounds through my ole 870. In spite of the ejector spring being broken, it does run rather smoothly. Yeah, I get the occasional hang up, but as long as I pump it good and hard, she runs like a Cadillac. Does anyone know how to go about replacing the ejector spring on one of these? I know they are riveted into a housing which secures the barrel, but what all do you have to go through to change it out?

I have a Norinco Model 99 with rabbit ears and 18" barrels and double triggers. It's a hoot to shoot as long as you don't try both barrels at the same time. Then it becomes painful.

Damn fine shotguns; especially since select wood is being used in the
manufactuer of new coach guns~!
