E.R Amantino imported by Stoegler. Cowboy shooting has made the Stoeger Coach Gun one of the most popular side-by-sides in the market today. Shooters called for more refinement, and Stoeger answered.

The Stoeger Coach Gun is a double-barreled shotgun that is marketed and distributed by Stoeger Industries in Accokeek, Maryland. It is manufactured by E.R. Amantino (Boito) in Veranópolis, Brazil.

The Coach Gun is a side-by-side shotgun. While suitable for bird hunting, clay target shooting, or home defense, it is primarily designed for cowboy action shooting. As the name implies, it is a coach gun style shotgun, similar to those used to defend stagecoaches in the American Old West.

Features

The Stoeger Coach Gun has been produced in 12 gauge, 20 gauge and .410 bore. The chambers are three inches long, to accommodate either 2¾ inch or 3 inch shells. Barrel lengths include 18, 20 and 24 inch. The gun has a raised center rib with a brass bead front sight. The Coach Gun has dual triggers, one for each barrel. The safety mechanism is located on the tang, on the upper rear part of the receiver.

Using your thumb, move the top lock lever to the right to open the action which will automatically engages the safety. Shells will be extracted by being raised so they can be easily removed by hand. They are raised for manual extraction rather than being ejected out as to make the gun more authentic to an old west shotgun. The lack of an ejector also allows for compliance with cowboy action shooting restrictions for competition.
