Remington UMC .223 Rem 55gr FMJ Rifle Ammunition 20rds – L223R3

Used this Shotgun for taget practice on lg Coffee Can. This baby did a number on it, looked like a screened door after I got done. No problems at all, great price. Impressive for shooting or home defense. Double 00 buck, would stop an intruder. Permernantly.

I was looking for a double barrel shotgun in 12 gauge and decided on the Stoeger. Got it home and reassembled it right away with no problem. The design is simple but when used at a paper target 10 - 30 feet away it is very effective. Easy and quick to reload. Best of all, the price. At $399.99 this was well worth the money!

I swapped out the Stoeger Uplander that I was using for Cowboy Action Shooting for this Coach Gun. It's the same design, but a shorter barrel. The gun performs flawlessly. I've had no issues. For ease of use, I'd suggest a lighter latch spring and polishing of the entire latch mechanism and extractor. If I can do these things, so could you!

I have the 20 gage version of this gun. I bought it for home defense. The next day I went rabbit hunting with it... It became my rabbit gun/home defense gun. I have taken rabbits with this at 40 and 45 yards. Great little partridge gun too. I put a sling on it, for ease of carrying while managing dogs in and out of the woods. Also added a LimbSaver recoil pad. Great fun gun. Easy to clean, durable, and dependable. Never had a problem with it in 6 years and it does not get treated with kid gloves. Good close in (home defense range) with buck shot and slugs but not that great at 25 or 50 yards. Of course it was never advertised as a deer gun...

When I set out to pattern this Coachgun, I discovered that at 20 yards while the right barrel was dead center on the target, the left barrel shot 2ft high and about 2 ft left of the target. Shotgun was sent back to Stoeger with an quoted repair time of 6 weeks.

Super gun . Love it. I purchased the .410 version for it's uniqueness. It is fun to shoot and hits right where I am aiming.

As a person who grew up shooting shotguns, it's just not my thing as an adult. But I decided to add one of these to my collection as just an easy to shoot and will be a good snake charmer for the cabin. I ended up going out to visit a buddy at his farm and we had a grand old time shooting cans and cardboard to pattern the shot spread on the coach gun and his new skeet gun. Wow I am very pleased with the spread of the shot . It reminded me of using a duck bill. This shotgun would also be perfect for a kids bird gun and or skeet given how wide the spread can be using bird shot. But with the Winchester pdx defender shells with small shot and disc's has more of the traditional spreads that was about the size of a coconut or cantaloupe at a distance of around 25ft. As for the wood stock goes its just beautiful and has a great grain pattern. To the extent that I would expect the quality of the wood to be like that on a high end shotgun like an over under or side by side. But it was a pleasure to seeing it on a cheap $500 shotgun. As for what I am not very fond of or would change that would definitely be the fact that it has a fixed choke and I am preferential to have the ability to swap chokes and customize the choke for whatever the tasks are and the fact that it's a fixed full choke so no slugs. But I purchased it as a plinker so no big deal. But I definitely wish that Stoeger had hammer models as well as hammerless only. But the fact that you can't pull both triggers at the same time is great for new shooters but I definitely tried to contort my trigger finger to pull the trigger on both barrels at the same time and the best was a slight delay between the primary and secondary trigger being pulled. But thats just me. I definitely love the light recoil of the bird shot and just slightly more recoil for the self defense loads. I also like the fact that it is definitely not a loud shot gun and no matter what shells that I was using the shots were very quiet for a shotgun it reminds me of a surpressed 9mm pistol with subsonic ammo or a Roman Candle firework. So its definitely a good snake charmer that's not going to be noticed by the neighbors if you need to dispatch a venomous snake. But I definitely wouldn't go as far as saying that it's hearing safe. I will definitely say that if your looking for a fun quality shotgun this is definitely one to look at. I have run probably 120 shells through it so far and it has been a ton of fun and it is a great looking shotgun hanging on the wall on an old fashioned gun rack. I am definitely impressed with the quality that Stoeger has put into the gun and the fact that I am now wanting to get the 12 Guage and the 20 Guage models to also hang on the rack along with a set of Ruger Vaqueros or the old Colt Peacemaker replicas to hang on the wall with the shotguns at the cabin. I have not had a Stoeger since I was a little kid and just getting into shooting and my uncle gave me an old break action single shot from Stoeger when I was probably 6 or 7 years old. My parents were not very happy about it and he basically sold them on it since he had seen me with my bb gun filling up the barrel with bbs and pumping up the gun around 25 times effectively Making it have a shotgun effect on the target. Along with my uncle telling my parents that if they only want me to have low power shells then just buy whatever the smallest shot that's available for it and it would be like the bb gun. But 43years later it brought back a ton of memories of my childhood and shooting with my friends some of them who are no longer with us do to various things. But I definitely had a great time shooting this shotgun as well as the other guns and my wife is now wanting her own old school side by side coach gun as well as adding an m4 to the collection of older shotguns that we have including several family heirlooms that she has been given custody of even though they should have gone to her brother who is a prohibited person who has some health issues. Nobody is wanting him to have access to guns let alone the heirlooms that have been in her step-fathers family since the 1800s for some of them. But since we are the only ones who have guns and he knew we would respect the old firearms and certainly would not sell them off. But would pass them on to our kids who are all adults themselves these days. Plus we love the history of the old guns and knives in general. Most of the older guns are from the 1800s. Its a decent collection of older guns from the late 1800s and early 1900s and several modern ones that he has purchased in the last decade. But my favorite is the old 1911 from ww2 that his father used in the Philippines when he was in the navy along with an old massive unserilized and unmarked shotgun that probably goes back to the Civil War or earlier.

I picked up one of these a couple of months ago and love it. It's a beautiful shotgun and I was just looking for a snake charmer and a plinker for use at my cabin in the mountains. But now I am wanting to get the 12 ga version as well as the 20 ga version but can't decide between the blued or the stainless models. The only things that I don't like is that it has a fixed choke, no external hammers, and that the triggers are set up in a way that you can't pull both triggers at the same time without being a contortionist of some type. But overall for the price this is definitely an amazing shotgun and I would definitely purchase another one if I wanted another 410 but maybe someday in the future after I get the 12 ga.
