Remington Spartan Arms shotguns

[RailRob]

anyone know anything about them.I know they are made in Russia but have not heard if they are good or bad. what does everyone know??

My buddy has one.  If you want an O/U I think that they are worth price.  But I wouldn't pay much more.

Go to shotgun world and look around in gun opinions.

In my opinion it would depend on how much the gun will be shot per year.  If your going to shoot a box of 25 here and there and take it out hunting, maybe you're OK.  If your going to put thousands of rounds through it per year then I would suggest you get a Browning, Weatherby, SKB, Ruger or something that will last.

I have heard that firing pin springs breaking on those a lot

I second that.  Personally would probably opt for a CZ over one of these if your budget won't allow you to get a better made gun.  I've heard too many horror stories regarding inexpensive doubles.

CZ are about $500 to $800 @ ables ammo. http://www.ableammo.com/catalog/default.php?cPath=9935_13769
I prefer a volvo made by Fausti Stefano.   http://www.faustistefanoarms.com/        at Cabela's they are about $969 on sale.


If you put it in a cars analogy.  A Remington Spartan is a Yugo; a CZ and the volvo are probably the Chevy; the Brownings, SKB, Ruger are the Cadilacs.
