Coach Gun Advice
Years back I had a side by side double bbl shotgun customized for my wife. She is proficient in the field and with clays, but also keeps it as her `home gun'. Since her gun is easy to get to it gets used every month or so by someone in the family. (We live on the fringes of town) This gun is too valuable for a `farmyard gun' and I want to replace it with an economical coach gun.
The Norinco shows up often enough but I have a couple of questions. I have seen the stamping `lead shot only' on several. I can live with this fine, but what is the reasoning since most are cylinder bore. Is the bbl alloy intolerant to steel shot ? Education please.
If older models did not have the `thumb safety' I would prefer that since she does not have one now.
What other models / makes have I overlooked.
Thanks in advance.
If we do not hang together,
We will most certainly hang separately.

I'd look at Baikal coach gun or the Bounty Hunter II from EAA if I was you, but both have automatic safeties. 0 -
Stevens 311 or Savage/fox model B. Both good, solid dependable guns and usually in the $250 to $350 range in very good condition. The Stevens 411 is the new issue but is a nicer finished Baikal 0
