Looked at a stoeger at gander today for 329.99 and a yildiz for 399.99. The stoeger was a 12, the yildiz I looked at in both.
I like the pull length and barrel length on the yildiz's(I don't care for the 12 in either to be honest.....kinda bulky.), but don't like the weight....I've had cheap airsoft guns that feel better in my hands, and certainly that have a better weight feel to them. The stoeger was a 26" I THINK, and was a 12. I liked the weight and the construction of the gun, but would have like a little longer pull(I actually think with a good limb saver it would be just about right for me...).
So the question is which one. I'm looking for a gun to...not replace, but to use in place of, my browning as a trap gun. I will most likely still hunt my A-5 in 16, but the shells are outrageous. 9.99 a box for the cheapest thing I can get on a consistent basis here, and 8 a box is as good as I've found them period. Compare than to 4 a box and shooting a few boxes at the range on clays becomes an expensive proposition.
I want to add the O/U because I don't own one, and I don't like pumps. Another A-5 in 20 or 12 is a consideration, but a good one is out of my ~400$ budget( I still need to replace my fly rod soon as well...), and I would like to try an O/U.
So what do y'all think about the two guns, for what I want them for?

. They're both good solid gun, and great for squirrels and ground targets. Not keen on SXS for flying targets. I ALWAYS miss with the damn trailing barrel, never fails!
