Looking for a low price OU 20 Gauge...Opinions
I am wanting to buy an O/U 20 gauge for occasional quail hunting. I currently hunt with a Model 12 20 gauge that was my grandfathers gun. He restored it and did some great carving on the stock and gave it to me on my 10th birthday 30 years ago. It is time to put it up for good. I want an inexpensive shot O/U with ejectors. Dicks has a Stoger on sale for less than $400 and a savage for a little more. I have a buddy that told me to look at a Yildez. Weight isn't a concern, just want a good solid hunting gun that won't bother me when it gets a little rain on it, or I have to lay it down to water the dog, etc... Any thoughts? Thanks!!!!!!!

Does Remington or anybody still import the Bailiku????? 0 -
Don't think so. I've heard from a few that the newer stoegers aren't as good as the older ones.
I'd look at the Mossberg Silver Reserve, and Fausti.0 -
savage, good guns for the buck. 0 -
I checked out the Stoegers at Dick's and the quality was very poor in my opinion for the money. 0 -
Spend a few dollars more and get a used Ruger. You will be glad you did. 0 -
Save up and get a ruger red label! 0 -
Save your nickels up for a nicer shotgun. You will be much happier! Like mentioned above, a Ruger Red Label. Or in my opinion, better yet a nice Browning Citori or older Beretta BL-4. However, if money becomes available there is nothing quite like a Browning Superposed! Good luck! 0 -
Went hunting last week with 2 friends. One had a new Storger 20ga & the other had a new Stevens 20ga. Mid week the stoeger broke the reciever whene he fired it. Broke at the base of the breach on both sides. The steven looks like a desent gun for the money. I have a Baikal 20ga that I hunt with that seams indestructable but its kind of crude. I also have Ruger red label. Realy is no comparison on quality. I have a Browning Citori in 410 that's even better yet. Long story shot- save your money for the better quality gun. Lessons learned over many years of gun buying. 0 -
If you would consider a SXS, check out the CZ ringneck. It is a SXS 20 ga. and carries a resonable price.

I have one and have been very happy with it.0 -
I have been very happy with my Remington Spartan / Biakal. You can find them on the auction side pretty reasonable.
I was not crazy about it when I first got it. (Present From My Wife and Son.) But I have not had any trouble with it.
Alot of great info on inexpensive O/U shotguns here.http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewforum.php?f=83
