A friend of mine and I are looking at picking a a couple coach guns; I want mine for maybe a little CAS in the future and some hunting. I was wondering about two things the overall quality, but mostly the regulation of the barrels. I have read in the states that the Stoegers are the best put together, and we were going to buy two, but then I read one post that said he had 4 Stoegers before he found one where the two barrels hit to the same point. I had an old Baikal with cylinder bores; it was a nice gun, but the cylinder bores made it so that it was not much use for hunting.

Can anybody here give there opinions on any/all of them for me?

I know the b CZ comes with chokes as does the Pedersoli but they are a whole bunch more money that the Baikal or the Stoeger!
however, they are far better built as well.

Of the three you mentioned, I would look at the Baikal. I am only going by what I read though as I never owned any of the models you mentioned. You ,though, already had a Baikal and liked it. I will however agree with Cat on the CZ. I do have one of those and I think they are above the others. But if you aren't going to spend that much then, as I say, look at the Baikal. Or you can buy some darn nice, quality used SxS's for the cost of the new ones you are looking at. In fact, this has just been all discussed on another thread a few days ago.
 
Aint nothing wrong with cylinder choke either. Put one into my beretta last weekend and shot my limit of ducks with it. Just pick you shots and keep it under 25yds.

Stoeger and Boito are the same thing. They are made by E.R. Amantino Armas in Veranópolis, Brazil.

Yes... but the older boito models are much nicer and better appointed than the stoeger branded ones....

Sorry but only pic I could post of what I wanted to show in a boito is a .410....
 
I have a Bakal, with exposed hammers. It started off as a 28" gun, but one of the barrels shot 2 feet right. I cut off a few inches (no more choke) and it was better. Cut off a few more inches, and it was perfect. Now is a 20" coach gun. I like it.

All 3 are entry level guns not really designed for high volume of shooting CZ would be a better choice if affordable.

LOL!!! When I first got into Trap & Skeet I was a poor university student. Best I could afford was a single trigger Stoeger Condor O/U with chokes. That gun (and it still works fine) shot well over 30K rounds before ultimately being replaced by a "high-end" u/o. It still however, serves me just fine as an upland gun.

I was considering a coachgun too lately but in .20ga. I am leaning towards another Stoeger simply because my old condor served me so well (and still works fine) and the fact that I prefer a single trigger set-up.
