- Stoeger Coach Gun 12 Gauge side-by-side shotgun
Manufactured by E.R. Amantino (Boito) in Brazil and imported by Stoeger Industries, this Coach Gun carries clear import and origin markings: "STOEGER, INC., ACCOKEEK, MARYLAND" and "E. R. AMANTINO – MADE IN BRAZIL." It is a two-shot break-action with extractors (non-ejector), staying true to the simple, proven coach-gun format.
The barrels measure 20 inches and are topped with a solid, serrated top rib and a brass-bead front sight for quick alignment. Chambers are cut for both 3 inch and 2-3/4 inch shells, adding flexibility with a wide range of 12 gauge loads. The fixed chokes are Improved Cylinder in one barrel and Modified in the other, providing a practical spread pattern combination.
Controls are straightforward: twin triggers offer direct barrel selection and a crisp, simple firing sequence, while the tang/manual safety is positioned for intuitive operation. Capacity is 2 rounds.
Construction is robust with a steel receiver and steel barrels in a blued finish. The walnut stock set includes a checkered straight-comb pistol grip, a beavertail forend, and a black serrated buttpad. Length of pull is 14.5 inches, offering a comfortable fit for many shooters.
