·Howdy. I am looking for a recommendation on a good side-by-side shotgun. While I don't dismiss autos or pumps, the doubles always felt considerably more natural to me. They just point so well.
Here is what I am looking for:
Gauge: 12 Gauge, 3" though wouldn't be opposed to a 10 Gauge or, *maybe* a 2 3/4 only 12. (Is it just me or is the 10 a gonner these days?)
Barrel Length: At least 26in. w/ removable chokes.
Wood/Finish: Anything decent. The more rust-resistant, the better.
Cost: None of those ultra-expensive European or Ruger doubles. This is for a work'n guy, and I want to keep it between $200-$300 for a used gun. If it was new I'd obviously go more ($300-$400), but would rather go used.
I am looking at using this arm to hunt duck and grouse in the NW. It will also be used for varmints (coyotes manly) only when get on my land. Other than that, I'm not going to go looking for them.
I'm looking @ Stoeger or EAA right now, but welcome any input. Also, if I'm not able to find used locally, any recommendations online that will ship to my FFL? Thank you for your time.
