hunter Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I looked at a couple of Stoeger doble barrel shotguns. Then another store had the Baikal doubles plus they still make a combo shotgun rifle over under like the old Savage model 24. The cost was between $400 and $600 at the store. There were some cheaper on line but there would be shipping and FFL fees. Now most of the bargain double barrel shotguns from Remington and Ithaca and CZ are coming from these countries plus Turkey. Does anyone own any of these? Any comments? Buy or keep saving? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doewhacker Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I just bought a Stoeger o/u a couple weeks ago, I like and it was cheap ($300 used). The biggest difference is going to be fit, finish, weight and last but not least cost. I handled a few real nice costly guns at a friends, yes they felt better but they also cost way more than a Stoeger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I would prefer to always buy American. That said, I do have three foreigh made shotguns, all .410's: a Stoeger coach gun...a Brazilian SxS...and a Huglu O/U. I have had great success with all of them. Have had offers in the field to buy the SxS for more than 4x what I paid for it. No deal....I won't part with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pygmy Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 If you find any Ithaca SKBs ( made in Japan) they are very high quality and often a good price... The CZs are excellent quality also.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jusputtn Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I have had a 12 gu CZ Bobwhite (English stock, side x side, double trigger, extractors) for a couple of years. I like it a lot. It's functioned just fine. The action was very stiff when new, it's slowly loosened up a little. My understanding is that Benelli is the parent company of Stoeger and Franchi.

hunter Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 It was and I agree. BTW somebody better grab the H&R on this site before I do and I don't need it, but it's a steal for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grouse Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I have a CZ 28 gauge SXS that is a beautiful shotgun. CZ makes an excellent quality gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Grouse, I'm hoping that the new o/u will keep me happy for a little while but I will definitely look into the CZ for a SXS. TY for the advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
