OP ritme Junior Member Joined: May 2005 Posts: 9 maine	I am looking for recommendations for a sxs goose gun. Can't spend more than $2000. Should have 3" chambers, at least 30" barrels, would prefer double triggers,and will probably shoot bismuth in it so could be an older gun. This gun will be used in a blind so weight not a factor. What about a Winchester Model 23? Miroku Charles Daly? Would love to have a model 21 but too rich for me. Thanks for your thoughts.

'for sale' section. A bit more than you are looking to spend, but a whole lot more gun than a Win. 23. It has the longer chambers... Last edited by Robt. Harris; 01/29/09 05:02 PM.

Shooting from a blind at geese, you're not handicapped with a three-inch 20 if you've set the decoys properly. Last edited by King Brown; 01/29/09 05:06 PM.

Upside was the durned thing weighed like 9#, recoil wasn't that severe, even with two 1 5/8 oz. BB's cranking out at the same time! Should you win the lottery this week Bass Pro Denver has my dream gun, Purdey, two sets of bbls, 12 ga 3" and 10 ga 3". They're only asking something like $35k. Checked my lottery ticket and didn't win so it's still available. If I were you, and shooting premium shot, I'd look at 2 3/4", the geese really can't tell the differnce. For $2K there are lots of nice Foxes, LC's and Ithaca doubles out there. Buy one and spend the rest of your $2k on good ammuntion. I shoot a Sterlingworth and fold 'em with Hevishot Classics.
