I have always been interested in getting a SxS double barrel 12g but literally never see them in shops. The gun will mostly be a novelty piece, but it may replace my 500 as a woods gun if it's that much smaller. Not looking for anything super expensive as I won't be hunting with it, but would like something of decent quality that wont shoot itself loose.
The Stoeger's look pretty decent, although I would have liked an 18" barrel over the 20" which is the shortest they offer. The overall length would be about the same as my Mossberg 500 since it sports a shorter 12" LOP stock as of recently.

Right now my Mossberg with 18.5" barrel is about 37" with the 12" LOP stock.
The Stoeger with a 20" barrel is 36.5". I could have the stock chopped to a 12" LOP which would bring it around 34.5" assuming it has a 14" LOP from the factory. That in itself makes a pretty small and handy shotgun, but if I could find an 18" SxS, and chopped the stock to a 12" LOP that sucker would only be 32.5" give or take.
Open to any other recommendations. I am not opposed to anything with a 20" barrel, but like I said would prefer 18".
