Hello,
I have grown to really like SxS shotguns for their looks/balance/heritage. I've acquired a few older ones, but they are all lead-shot only era ones.
However, I just realized that I don't have a steel-shot compatible SxS.
I would like to fix that, without breaking the bank. I may have some 'classics', but none of them cost me more than 750 apiece.
Is CZ the only show in town for a relatively reliable SxS 12g that can handle steel shot and is under a grand?
I know there are other great firearms out there- but not within my budget. I'd love to sell a couple of other firearms to fund it, but no bites on them lately.
So, $1K is my max- after shipping/tax/dros/FFL receiving fee [if shipped on my order].
I like the price of the Bobwhite, but like the looks of the Hammer Classic [I have a hammer 1876 Cimarron coach gun too]. Sharptail is nice, but I don't know about another single trigger.
What else should I be looking for in Steel Shot compatible SxS 12g, for under $1000?
My usage: 100 rounds a year if I am lucky. I have some I haven't had a chance to fire in 4 years. Recreational shooting- iron targets and clay pigeons. Maybe hunting. Not dedicated clay shooting gun. Recreational.
I am in california, so thought I should think ahead to a day when it is Steel or Bismouth, and my above listed shotguns can no longer be used.
Thanks for any insight you can give me.
