Coach Guns - any owners out there?

Post by JCN » Thu Oct 13, 2016 10:16 am

Recently became interested in coach guns mostly because they look like a lot of fun! Anyone around here own one? I'm assuming a Henry owner or two will have a western style coach shotgun. I'd like to see some pictures posted if possible and let me know what your typical uses are!

I prefer a trench gun but would be interesting in what people have to say about coach guns. Isn't that what Elmer Fud used?

Previous owner....had to sell my Stoeger 20-ga SxS coach gun to meet some financial needs.

But I did like it a lot. For a low-end s/g, it was well-built and wood/metal finishes were good. I don't put a lot of s/g ammo down range, so didn't look for a high-priced SxS. I mainly shot rifled slugs, and my use was for deer hunting. As I've started shooting trap now, it would not have been an optimal s/g for that sport; kind of "clunky" to swing. Main thing I learned about a SxS that if the manufacturer doesn't align the two barrels to have very close POIs, in a way you're sunk. By sunk, I understand the main way to correct that problem is to bend a barrel to align. Didn't have any issues with that. My Stoeger was really close to right on out of both barrels. Enjoy your search! Here are some photos.

Coach Gun fan here.

I've got an old Stevens 16 Gauge Double Barrel.

I'd buy a new Henry, if they decide to produce a new one.

I think Henry would be wise to add them to their lineup. Seems to be a good pair to the Big Boys for cowboy action shooting.

I have a Stoeger Condor, O/U. I've been happy with it. I had an issue with the firing pin, Benelli replaced the entire gun under warranty, no questions asked. Seems there was an issue with the firing pin channel. I was very happy with the way I was treated by Benelli.

The Stoeger coach guns are very popular with the CAS folks. Of course, they do some work on them before competing with them.

I have a Stoeger Coach Gun in 12GA and it shares use in Cowboy Action Shooting with the two Winchester 97s.

I have wanted one for quite some time and have hoped that Henry would make one. CZ makes one that really looks good so I am considering going with that. http://cz-usa.com/product/cz-hammer-coa ... -cyl-bore/

if Henry ever decides to produce with external hammers like the CZ in the link above, I'd find a a way to put one in the vault .... only thing I'd like them to change is to equip the barrel for choke tubes
