Stoeger Outback on the way

Just make sure to right a review! ;)

I eagerly await the range report.

Thanks

With apologies to mlehtovaara, I once made up a story about medieval blacksmiths who wanted to form a guild but could not agree on a ceremony. The punch line was:

"They could never find the right wright to write the rite."







:ban:
 
Well as can be seen above I guess they came in today, so hopefully I'll get out there tomorrow and pick mine up :) (of course it comes in on my day off when I'm not out there anyway :D)

Can't wait to see what they look like.
 
Mine made it in this afternoon (Canada Post on a Sunday afternoon???). Blazing fast shipping and great service from the Wanstall's crew. Complete strip down, cleaned and fresh from the oil:

LOP is about 3/4" to long for my liking, nothing that a quick mod can't fix. Should be a great grouse gun :D. 20 gauge inserts are inbound.
 
Goddammit - I was the one who walked in and asked for one of these in the first place, and their shipping's so fast Hunter1970 gets his before I even get a chance to pick mine up in the store!!!! FER CHRISSAKE, they only came in like 3 days ago!!!!! :)

Yeash :) well of course the boys are closed tomorrow but I have business their way on tuesday so I'm hoping to pick mine up then.

Gary and the boys are always great to deal with, and if they don't have it in stock they'll order it for you if you ask, which is how I got them to bring these ones in.
 
I saw a video on these a while back in it the guys gun kept automatically engaging the safety after each shot. Is that dude just got a POS gun or is this normal.

His may have been defective - they have what is called an 'inertia safety'.

The recoil from the first shot disengages the safety for the second shot. So if the first shot doesn't go off then the safety has to be cycled for the second shot. This is to prevent an accidental firing in the case where a person has a misfire and is attempting to clear it. If the first round goes off, the second round goes off with another squeeze of the trigger.

It actually takes very little 'shaking' to reset the inertia safety, so you can also just give the gun a bit of a jerk and it's good to go :)

But no, under normal operations you don't need to cycle the safety after every shot.

Thanks for the info man. lol the guy probably hadn't fired it yet and was just making assumptions about the safety when he held the gun and clicked the trigger to find the safety re-engaging
 
Anyone know if the sights are adjustable, at least for windage?

No, it's a shotgun after all. but it IS a ramp style sight so it would be pretty easy to put a thin line where you wanted the 'sight' to hit and that'll give you some elevation. It's an old trick, easily done with a little nail polish. You clean the front blade with some nail polish remover to make sure it's 100 percent oil free, then use tape to mark where you want your 'dot' to be, and some nice vibrant red or orange (or white) nail polish to paint on a line there. Then a layer of clear nailpolish to protect it. Fairly easy to remove and change it up later with the nail polish remover if you want to but otherwise it'll last a long long time.

To pick where you want the 'sight' line to be just use a thin strip of packing tape or similar tape at the range and place it up and down the sight till you get the height exactly where you want it for your poi. Then leave it on and when you get home block that part off with more tape and paint away. You can even get glow in the dark paint meant to go over white nail polish to give you 'night sights' :) Tho i haven't tried it it's supposed to be pretty good and lasts for many many hours.

Like i said -it's an old trick and it works well. There's plenty enough blade for it. And it's a shotgun after all - how far will you be shooting :)

You could file it down too but that's kind of permanent.

And of course, as most of us have done with bead shotguns you will find very quick you learn to adjust your aim for the gun, rather than adjusting the sight. I mean, it's really a 50 - 100 yard gun max even with slugs.

If you want better than that get it drilled and tapped for optics and put a scope or dot on it.

Edited to add - i suppose to you could do the old trick of bending the front blade to give a little windage as well. It's pretty sturdy looking mind you.
 
Well I finally got mine and I must say i'm pleased. The wood is better quality than I thought, the gun feels 'solid' and the length of pull is fine for me, i wouldn't want it any shorter.

It did come pretty greased up :) It'll need a good clean.

It assembles in seconds. And it comes apart almost as fast.

It's really nicely balanced for it's size.

It's a little stiff, which is to be expected. We'll see how it is after a couple of boxes of ammo.

Totally worth the money.
 
I just finished knocking off 5/8" of the rear stock, and reshaped the recoil pad. Now she shoulders perfectly for me as well. I agree that the balance, and speed you can point this double makes it quite attractive. I can't wait to get her out and put her through her paces :).

Thanks dude. I'll try that stuff out when I get around to picking one up. Keeping fingers crossed for tax time.
