For reasons that are not really clear to me, I've developed an interest in adding a coach gun to my line-up. Unfortunately, I'm not much of an expert on shotguns, and have only had very limited experience with them. I'd envision using one to shoot slugs at 25 and 50 yards, since the range I shoot at doesn't allow you to shoot shot (not sure what the point would be to that anyway). However, down the road, I might possibly try trap with it as well.
So, here's where I need the advice:
1- I know side-by-side guns have more quirks that single barrels, and that bead-sighted smooth bore guns are not as accurate with slugs than slug guns, but could I get reasonable accuracy and a generally good time shooting as described above?
2- I've been looking at the Stoeger coach gun, which is pretty inexpensive. But, there seems to be a wide spread in price among coach guns (I guess this may reflect the effort it takes to get both barrels to shoot to the point of aim), but can anyone make a recommendation on what a good choice would be?
Thanks,
