It's already come along quite a bit (this video was filmed back in September). I'll be releasing a video on Slicking this shotgun up that will hopefully showcase what it can be VS how it starts out.
This gun is made in my country, Brazil by Boito, Amantino. Unfortunitly they are not like before. They are looking for productions in mass, and the quality is not so good. Many many years ago, the Guns were made with more quality and Nice tolerance in fabrications. Boito is located in the south o Brazil,
I've got a boito shotgun (old, single shot break action) and it's definitely made to much higher standards. It's older than I am and in much better shape ;)
@@TATVCanada yes exactly!!!! The problem now, they are only looking for production, not too much in quality 😪. Old Brazilians Guns are best then now. Rossi, Boito, Taurus, .........
The prices they're charging is frankly ridiculous for what you get, old import were sturdy and a little rough but nothing like this! They may as well sell it as a bag of parts and be honest this is a kit.
It wasn't what I expected/hoped but I'd buy it again. I'd rather put a few hours into finishing this gun then pay double for something better. I think everyone's going to have their own take on that, but where I live there aren't a ton of alternatives.
I don't know a lot about Stevens but it wouldn't surprise me if they were/are made in the same factory at some point. Stoeger makes all kinds of different brand shotguns under contract and I imagine the less the have to change the tooling, the more money everyone saves.
Because a price point is a relative term referring to an items value in a scale ranging from cheap to expensive. A price is a specific figure derived from a fixed time and place, which varies dramatically. I can describe something as being 'budget-priced' and have it convey meaningful information to people in any country and at any time VS "it costs $400 where I live on the day I checked", which is useless to anyone outside those exact circumstances.
Considering there are probably more than one SbS shotgun for every man woman and child available on he used market, there is no reason what so ever to by such an inferior and ugly product!
Not a lot of options in my area for used firearms that will meet the requirements for cowboy action shooting. I imagine that varies from location to location, but for me it was a better option to buy a mid-priced gun and work on it than pay double for something better.
Great review man. Thanks for taking the time to make a great video!
Glad you found it useful; thanks for the feedback!
I've kinda wanted something like this for a while, seems like a good affordable thing for the casual enjoyer
I don't use it a lot, but when I do it's always really interesting to see the data. Lots of things I'd have never predicted.
NO S.S. - Boy..that sure looked really stiff. It'll be interesting to see how you can improve upon that.

No need to remove the safety, simply trim off 1/8" from the transfer bar. The safety still works and stays where you put it. (A new bar costs $8.00)
For folks in the US a replacement is easy to come by, but where I live replacement gun parts are often very, very challenging to source.

3:43 "Luckily, [the safety] is easily removed, which I'll cover in a future video."
Well, we're waiting.
You're going to have to keep waiting until I get a weekend off work, ha.
Man that sure looks like my Stevens 310

Just picked me up the Supreme model
What gauge?
@@TATVCanada12 gauge
@@TATVCanadaits the blued model, my stock is darker though and has straight grains
Why would you bring up the price point and not mention the price?

Does the supreme have stainless steel hammers and better parts then the cheaper coach that’s cheaper in price
I don't have the other to compare to, but I'm pretty sure they're the same just going off what I've heard anecdotally.
