Gun Dog Forum

A buddy of mine is interested in buying a SxS but has had trouble finding one that has just one trigger that he could buy used in the $600 range. I don't know much about SxS shotguns so I figured I'd ask here to see if this gun even exists. Doesn't seem like many companies are even making SxS's anymore. Thanks,

Double trigger's are hard for me to find. Tell him to go look at CZ's. I think they are in his price ranger, single trigger and everybody seem'e to like them.

The price range is more an issue than not finding a ST...there are many used and new models with STs lounging around in a gun rack.
He may need to up the ante to gain more than what $600 wil buy.

Just like Don Says about looking to cz the Cz ringneck is a single trigger model. The woodcock is a double. Try gunsamerica.com and use the search HUGLU. Same gun as Cz but lower priced. Also I may have a 20 ga single trigger to part with.

The best gun for that price range is a stoeger uplander supreme. I shoot one and love it.

Cool. Thanks for the replies. I'll past those recommendations along. Keep them coming if you got them! Thanks again

Its going to cost him more than 600 (about 1k more), but it would be worth it!!!

S&W Elite Gold SxS / "bleep" Arms SxS... they come in 12, 16, and 20ga.

I would look for a used SKB model !!

Yildiz makes a very nice gun for the money, the best in that price range IMHO.

Skb is good stuff, they are the maker for a few well known brands. Mirouku in Japan makes many of the Browning doubles. Tons of high priced famous brand guns are farmed out to sub companies. And often these sub companies put out guns under other names not often recognized.
Most of the used Italian, Eibair Spain, Japanese guns are well made and can be a bargain at the used rack. I say most but not all. Check out a good breretta and how the wood meets the metal, pull the fore and look at the way the metal parts are finished and fit. Then compare what you observed to the other guns out there. After looking at a bunch of guns and how they are put together s you will recognize a quality double even If you have never heard of the maker.

from what i read yildiz is the best bang for your buck but good luck getting a new one to minnesota acadamy sports is the sole importer in the us and they no longer will do a ffl out of state transfer from what they told me they stated (due to tax reasons) they no longer will ship a gun out of state and there stores are located in the southern US, they stated that they are try to resovle this problem so they can continue to sell them out of state, but dont no when. i was try to buy a yildiz before grouse opener this year, it starts saturday. so i been looking at a stoger but still have my heart set on yildiz. now if anyone has any ideas where or how i could legally get a new or slightly used yildiz 20 ga over and under i'm in the market, please pm me

I have a beretta silver hawk sxs with single trigger. Real nice and can be had used for reasonable $

he should try gunbroker. com

Cool. Thanks guys. The reason he wants a SxS is that he's right handed but left eye dominate and read that SxS can make it easier for people with cross eye dominance to shoot accurately. Anyone else heard of that?

I'm right handed and left eye dominant. So is my dad and both of my siblings. My dad doesn't shoot. Brother shoots left handed (probably the best option). My sister and I shoot right handed with left eye closed. I can't imagine that a side by side makes it any easier to shoot when you are cross dominant. I have never noticed a difference, but I was never really expecting one. He might look into the HiVis beads that are designed for cross dominant shooters. I've wanted to try one since I first heard about them, but haven't done it yet.

yeah he does the one eye shut deal a lot I think.....him shooting left handed is a scary thought. I'm not sure where he read about a SxS helping, but he did somewhere.
