First I apologize as I know this topic has been posted more than at least once. I searched and browsed through all of the relevent posts and still could not find my answer. Here is my dilema.
I want a SxS coach gun. Why, two reasons. First my love of the old west, what worked, works. Second is the short platform that is easily manuverable for both HD and the trail. When bringing up my thoughts with my uncle he shirked and advised I would be better off with a pump such as the Rem 870.
I decided to research, mainly on this forum, and found too many conflicting arguments against and for the SxS and pump. I would like to submit my own reasons for a shotgun, which may or may not be new, and see what other opinions there are out there.
My first want is for the SxS, however the Stoeger Condor looked really nice in stainless. Unfortunately my local shop does not have any to do a comparison. So I am gung-ho for th SxS.
Reading posts off of this forum and with my uncle's opinion I am now double thinking what I want. Uncle wants to take me hunting upland for partridge this fall. From what I'm reading a SxS would be the right gun for both upland hunting and HD. Am I wrong?
I want an ease of use, simplistic, reliable, and robust shotgun. I would like to use this for not only HD but for an occasional hunt of upland birds. Shooting slugs would be nice for both target shooting and the random terrorist/zombie that shows up in the suburbs.
I really want a SxS, opinions are having me doubt myself.
