Stoeger vs. Remington Coach Guns

[rafterp]

I've been checking into a new coach gun and have narrowed it to these two...was wondering about any pros and cons of either. I guess one of the things I was wondering about, is resale. Does one brand have preference over another as far as CAS popularity? Thanks.

I've used both... out of the box the Russian was stiff, but Tank tough, it had external cockers (not true hammers)
Pre- Remington deal (It came from American International Arm in Florida)
It was about $40 cheaper than the Stoeger.
It took to a bit of polishing and worked well, European walnut ... I paid $280 NIB for it in 2000.

The Stoeger Coach Gun was pre- Beretta Deal.
I think it was about $320 NIB , opened well but needed a bit of polish, the extractor needed de-burred and the chambers needed polishing to get empties to fling.
Jungle Mystery wood.

Traded the Russian for the Stoeger even on a whim , both were 12 Gauge
Sold the Stoeger for about $300

I since bought a TTN SXS in 2004 ...I have not looked back, sweet right out of the box, and TANK TOUGH ...

  I totally agree with Major 2, TTN, SXS 12 GAGE, do it right the first time you won't regret it (IMHO )
