The first side-by-side shotgun was invented in England, even before the first shotgun shell was ever conceived. This ageless design has not only been around a long time, but in recent years it has gained in popularity. The old English gunmakers that are still in business charge thousands of dollars for their double-barrels, often making customers wait for years to get one. If you don't like to wait and don't want to spend a small fortune, the Stoeger Uplander just might be the gun for you. Stoeger Uplanders come plain or fancy, with traditional double or single triggers.
