      Nobody can make an inexpensive double in the US, unless you want a plastic one from Hi Point.
      The last "cheap" American made SxS was the Ruger Gold Label, and that thing was over $2k, 20 years ago.
      The only inexpensive American doubles are the used ones at pawn shops and gun stores across the country, from Stevens/Savage or Ithaca made between the 30s and the 80s.
      Doubles cost more money to make. They're time consuming. They used to be less expensive back in the day when all guns were made with hand fitted and soldered machined components. But today, most guns are using cast parts, polymers and stampings , being assembled on automated equipment.
      There are too many "man hours" involved in making doubles, that's why the less expensive ones are imported from places with lower labor costs.

    • @RequisiteFunction
      @RequisiteFunction Місяць тому

      Mossberg imports their double barrel shotguns from Turkey. Their cheapest one is about $600. If Mossberg cannot make a cheap double in the States, with all it's years of manufacturing and experience, we cannot expect Heritage to do so.
      Mossberg literally got it's start by making cheap shotguns. There were companies making bolt-action shotguns from military surplus bolt rifles. mossberg realized he could make a bolt-action shotgun cheaper from the ground up, with all new, lighter parts, and it would be better than the mil conversions.
      The company's entire business model was to make good shotguns cheaper, and 105 years later, they're still not making their own double barrels.
      It's just a hard gun to make inexpensively.

    @Divenity Місяць тому +33

    Feel like that price is a bit steep for a basic double barrel shotgun, especially from Heritage... People expect affordable guns from them, I have a hard time justifying spending more than a Mossberg 590 for a basic double barrel from Heritage.

    • @RequisiteFunction
      @RequisiteFunction Місяць тому

      I kind of agree, because Heritage is known for price-point design characteristics.
      Granted, they are not actually making this shotgun, but if their name is on it, it means they likely approved of the perameters of the build contract, and may have even speced it out.
      I'm not excusing the price, but it is difficult to fairly compare the price of a double to the price of a pump. Doubles always cost more to make.
      Unlike every other long arm, doubles are still made the same way they've been made since the hamerless box-lock was invented. There's a lot of machining and a lot of hand-fitment of parts. Theres no cheap way to go about it.
      People flocked to pumps and bolt-action shotguns after ww2, and since they were cheaper to make , companies didn't bother putting more effort into making doubles cheaper. The Savage 311 would be the last "affordable" American double, and they only achieved that by streamlining the fit and finish so much that, compared to pre-war shotguns, it looks like a prop.
      Even Mossberg is importing their doubles from Turkey. Their base model Silver Reserve is about $600. If they had a side by side, it would probably be around the same price.

    • @RequisiteFunction
      @RequisiteFunction Місяць тому

      ​@elimanning6520 I think you are correct. Just like China, the quality is dependent on two things: the subcontractor chosen to do the work, and the parameters of the contract.
      China is more than capable of making quality equipment. But the people contract them to make low quality equipment, because they want to sell at a price point.
      Case example: I went to the dollar store, and saw a hammer for sale. Granted, it was no Estwing or Vaughn, but it was...a hammer.
      Now, in the States, you couldn't even fire up the forge for $1 to get started.
      You'd go through more than $1 worth of steel, wood, sandpaper and packaging before the item ever left the shop. Not to mention labor.
      China was never really a "gun hub" , in regards to manufacturing anyway.
      Turkey is the new Belgium when it comes to firearms. It's a cottage industry of dozens of factories making gun parts and a few companies assembling guns from those parts.
      Belgium was doing exactly this back in the late 1890s and into the 1920s.
      Belgium made some good guns. They also made a ton of garbage shotguns which rivaled the plagiarism of Kyber Pass firearms.
      Turkey has some good stuff, and they have some bad...because someone realized they can still profit off garbage.
      Most people have nothing but praise for the CZ Turkish doubles.
      As for this thing, IMO it's not worth the price over the CAS-proven Stoeger, doesn't look as finished as the Stoeger (which already isn't a great finish. Someone needs to teach those guys how to block sand).
      So it is at a price that is in between a CZ and a Stoeger, but appears cheaper than the less expensive of the two.
      If they want to see this thing move, lower the price or increase the quality of the finish.
      To be priced between a Stoeger and a CZ, it should look the part.

    • @RequisiteFunction
      @RequisiteFunction Місяць тому

      Any double made after 1900 in the States will be able to handle modern ammo. The only problem you run into is trying to run 3" shells, which weren't invented at the time they were built, or in some cases, shooting slugs through a full choke.
      A 1950-80s Savage 311 (which is probably the most common, used, American shotgun for sale) can handle any 2 3/4" shell that you offer it. Same with any of the other "nitro-proofed" shotguns made with actual steel barrels.
      Just make sure of your sizing.

      Fwiw the stock dimensions on the Stoeger coach guns are different between the 12 and 20.
      The 20 has less drop at heel/comb and has your eye closer to the bore. The 12 has more drop. Not like antique gun drop, but on the samples I compared, it was at least a 1/2" difference.
      This is worth mentioning cus shotgunning is supposed to be a fit and muscle memory thing. Switching between the two fits takes a little readjustment if you plan on doing any CAS style stuff.

      Where are you getting them? I haven't seen any decent enough European doubles that were also cheap enough to not feel bad about "ruining". Hell, I didn't even want to cut down a $300 Ithaca Hammerless cuz I thought it would eventually be worth something. With the Stoegers, you can thrash it and not feel bad about ruining something that is appreciating daily.
      That being said, if I had a pile of Ithaca Hamerless or Stevens 311s sitting around....
      Another question, aren't many of the English shotguns bored only for 2.5" shells? I know you said European but I wasn't sure if you were including them. I've seen used English doubles for under $400, but i wasn't keen on making my own shells for them.

    Dustin, this is interesting. I saw the same online. Since they didn't mention, I have to assume it is a cylinder bore. Not judging, but for contrast I saw a dual hammer coach Rock Island (not sure of which factory they are buying from) in 12 ga, with threaded choke tube system for $485. Almost picked it up, but really have been looking for a 20 ga, which sends me more toward Stoeger. RI does not offer a 20 ga double, it appears.
    Final note: I realized later here that the Badlander is very short, as with a true coach gun. That does make it more specifically tailored for the wide open bores.

    I’d understand if this was a higher tier shotgun with ejectors and it came with an extra set of barrels for hunting. That would be well worth $800+ dollars. But for half the price I can get a AAA grade Stoeger that does the exact same thing and has a a huge aftermarket of spare parts.

    Here's a quick way to check the choke with a simple dime.
    If it's a cylinder bore, the dime will have a lot of room to spare and exit end of the barrel.
    With improved cylinder choke the dime fits with a little room to spare.
    With modified choke the dime just fits.
    The dime will enter only a third of the way on a full choke.

    Dustin, I took the plunge!!!!!! I found this beauty from Prepper Gun Store for about $640.00 this week. I did have to scrounge around online and as far as I could determine, this was the best price I found anywhere. Lots of places were SOLD OUT at or near MSRP. I'm gonna have to sell off some gear to offset it, but I believe it'll be worth it! It'll be my first side by side, and even at that price it might seem expensive. But I've read a lot of comments here and elsewhere, and I think that those prices that get mentioned are pre-pandemic era pricing and availability. However we got here, inflation is REAL and I'm sure both the manufacturer and their industry cohorts want to make some bit of profit. I have other scatterguns and I don't need this one, but from what I've gathered, if I don't find a way to snap this up now, I'll regret it later.

    "Are you guys at Heritage getting together with the guys at KelTec on the weekends to party? Is that where the price point came from?"

    I liked Heritage as an option for "beer-budget" recreational firearms. At twice the price of my double-hammer JW-2000 coach gun, and pushing $200 more than a Stoeger, I don't entertain one of these.
    However, if it is indeed built by the same maker of my TISAS 1911, I have no doubt it's a solid and rugged firearm.

    It really surprised me that it does not reset the safety when you break it open to load, as seen around the 9 minute mark when you loaded it and then had to put the safety on. I really like that.
    But yeah, the price... But then everything is going up. Still, it's approaching CZ territory. And CZ is well, CZ.

    @brotherbruno1783 Місяць тому +1

    Stevens makes a single shot for under $200. It’s the only thing on the market in production that comes close to that, so as much as I hate that it’s made in China, there are simply no alternatives at the moment.
    Heritage needs to fill the niche that the rough rider does: cheap, functional, simple, and mass produced. There is no place for another stupidly expensive shotgun when you can already get a pump action Mossberg for under $250, and a break action for barely over $150. This will not succeed unless Heritage remembers its chief demographic and redesigns it accordingly.

    Truly a shame about the lack of chokes. Otherwise, this could be a very useful shotgun. It would be great in heavy thickets for hunting game such as grouse, and would also be wonderful for carrying on a tractor when working fields.
    With zero choke, it falls into the "interesting novelty" bucket. It's really a shame they didn't turn this into an actual hunting piece, as all it would have taken would have been a choke, preferably basic 3 tube screw ins; IC and mod for brushy cover, mod and full in open fields.

I’ve never seen one close up and I would like to get to know if heritage I would like to have the heritage address so I could maybe call them or write to them to see if I could get one of those and your other row hair with your rifle that you got The one that was I guess is the heritage like the 100 won the worst Winchester of the 1873 I’m all lien to Western stuff and I are used to shoot a lot but I don’t get to shoot anymore right now due to other certain circumstance, but I would love to meet you in person, if it ever comes to the point where I can I like your videos yesterday and you do Splaine a lot about the guns but I’ve never seen you in the modern day western pistols like the Pieta type guns with Remington and holsters. Is there a problem you referred the 1801s better than then today’s pianos maybe you could do a video on them One day thanks this is my comments to you. Also, I would like the address to the company that knows western clothes I mean I can make up some of that ain’t gonna help me a bit specially if I want to be a mountain man tight tomorrow, man mountain man I don’t have any clothes like that, thanks you have a good day.
