whats ppls take on the o/u I am torn between the shotgun or a 257 weatherby. both are about the same price but the 20 ga is more practical. Does anyone know a place where i can get the 20 out the door for under $350 think theres a mikes or something like that over round stl that sells em pretty reasonable.

i've got that in a 12ga. Compared to a few that I own (or I should say the kids' SKB, Remington and Ruger) its a bit on the heavy side. However, I always bring it along to trap shoots as the backup gun. It always shoots.

[rquote=1483054&tid=103689&author=curtism1234]Stoeger is hit or miss on the barrel regulation. The price makes it worth the gamble but there's a pretty good chance the gun will have to go through that difficult process of exchanging guns until you get one that comes close enough. Eventually (maybe the first time), you'll get a great shooting o/u for 1/2 of what others cost.

What about the barrels? will it effect the guns preformance or is this a preference? I found a gun at ****s that was 350 bucks but i dont like to mess with the rebates.

i want the 20 to shot rabbits, doves squirrels and the occaisional duck with it. might even take it on a turkey hunt or two. I dont want to go through the ringer agin on another shotgun been there b4 with my franchi I-12

If you plan on buying a $350 O/U then plan on going through the ringer again.
