Black Friday, the day after the U.S. Thanksgiving Day holiday, is the traditional start of the U.S. holiday shopping season, with sharp retail discounts on merchandise.

Hmm... I want to get a nice 12ga side-by-side break action. But they’re so hard to find outside of Cabela’s $10k+ gun room...

Two years ago, I bought my Wife a Springfield XDs .45 for her CCW, and was talked into a lever action Rossi Rio Grande 45-70. Used the same 4473 for both.

I don’t shoot the Rossi much. It was having feeding issues, and the ammo’s pricey.

But it sure is purdy!

Well thanks, I'll definitely have to look into them! Hopefully easy enough to find one near me, mail/FFL transfers are a pain!

Stoeger Shotguns

Coach guns are shorter, often used in "cowboy action shooting competitions".

Many of their shotguns are reasonably priced, and I think have a pretty decent reputation. Not top shelf but good for the price.

I love my Stoeger P-350 Defense Pump Shotgun with pistol grip.

So sad that I lost it in a tragic boating accident...

Yea, now that Lurker/you bring them up, I’ve definitely heard of them before. But yea, $5-600 for a side-by-side is definitely a decent price, especially when most of what you can easily find is a couple thousand
