Could you be a little more clear on that, where did you find the C of G was located, and do they sport auto ejectors?Win/64 said:

That would be balance point . Which models / guages / length barrels ,did you have, try, hold, talk about, or read about in a magazine 
I have not tried or even held this gun, but just looking at the lines,design , wide forend , weight , I just know its a great gun for the money. And will be certain of that come next week, as one is on the way

I checked one out at a local dealer it was a 12 bore 26' barrel's. I think the money could be better spent on the used market. $1000 dollars can get you a pretty fine sxs if you don't absolutely need screw in chokes. Did you order one before actually getting to hold it?

Most certainly , I have held , shot, owned many side by side shotguns, over the years. Even the outside hammer jobs that fired both barrels at the same time if both were cocked . Its very hard to find a sxs thats messed up in the weight and balance department(maybe a really long barrel job), Now O/U guns are different, and require more care in design to get it right.
Oh , where was that dealer ? might want to give him a call???

In that price range for a new gun I'd look at the CZ line of shotguns. You might have to settle for extractors instead of ejectors but you'll get everything else you want.lyle c said:
I agree with Win/64 about the Stoeger's. They don't handle as well as the CZ guns.
Beg to differ sxs's like O/U's balance differently so they swing differently. I think too that the wide forend through me off I like a splinter forend. The dealer was Epp's in Orillia Ont.Levi Garrett said:Most certainly , I have held , shot, owned many side by side shotguns, over the years.

Thats Awesome Claybuster , please let me know where one can be had for under a $1000, I really like CZ , got many of their rifles.

Now I remember what gun the Stoeger reminded me of. A Browning BSS (sxs boxlock) I had in the seventies seems the Stoeger was very similar. That gun is long gone now it was like a brick with barrels.Levi Garrett said:Thats Awesome Claybuster

So where did you try it out?(Epps, thanks) As for cancel the Stoeger , kidding rightWin/64 said:
The bottom line, want a high end gun, pay the price. Want something that functions well , is rugged, has features that are common with high end british doubles, well you figure it out.

Gun for gun, the old Japanese-made Browning SxS's were vastly superior to the Brazilian-made Stoeger's.
I think you'll find the CZ SxS's are made in Turkey ... but I'm with Claybuster
... probably the best value for a SxS today, even if slightly more than $1000.
Make mine the 202B "Bobwhite" in 20 ga. with 28" barrels !

Just don't get a Beretta , their junk I'm sure we agree on many things we just haven't found them yet.Win/64 said:Nice to see we finally agree on something Claybuster
CZ guns are made by Huglu in Turkey and are so marked.
While Beretta isn't my favourite maker I certainly wouldn't say they were "junk".Levi Garrett said:Please define slightly, , and where? Also the bobie white is english I think, not what the fella has in mind.
