Thanks!


12 or 13 years ago I was looking for the same type of shot gun for rabbit hunting. I bought a new Stoeger Uplander in 28 ga. It became my favorite bunny gun. It's a no frills double gun with 2 triggers. I used it 2 to 3 times a week rabbit hunting in the winter and occasionally I take it to the skeet range. Mine has fixed chokes but I think the new ones have choke tubes. After years of rough use it's holding up fine and still locks up as tight as it was when it was new. It's just a sample of 1 but I'm quite happy with mine.
