I really like the balance and feel of my Stoeger Coach gun. I have lightened the triggers and locking lever, and changed the automatic safety to manual. For a cheap gun it is fast to aim and shoot. Both barrels throw perfect patterns and are regulated vertically.
However: while the IC barrel is right under the bead, the left modified barrel shoots about three inches off horizontally at 12 yards, enough to just” wing” a target. I assume this would be even worse at longer ranges.
I tried putting an aftermarket fiber optic sight on the rib, off to the left, but I just didn’t like the result.
So, can anything be done about that regulation problem? How about installing exchangeable chokes? Is there enough metal and would it help?
If not, if I cut the barrels to a true 18 inches, what kind of group would open cylinders throw.
Hey, and any other advice would be appreciated.
