Dred Bob Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 never heard of it before but looked it up because you mentioned it. It's a good looking SxS. Not the usual price point I associate with Heritage firearms for sure. It'll be interesting to see if anybody has one. I assume you're asking about its suitability as a SASS competition shotgun. https://heritagemfg.com/shotguns/badlander-series/421-badlander-18-5inch-barrel-12ga-2rds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Meadows,SASS#28485L Posted April 10 Author Share Posted April 10 I'll probably buy one to see how well it's made. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oak Ridge Regulator Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I handled one at a gun show recently, it was out of the box and stiff but that’s no surprise. It pointed and shouldered well, it was completely Matt finish so no glare to wood or metal, opened pretty wide and triggers were ok for a SASS shotgun, probably with a little work it would make a decent SASS gun but only time and shooting will tell if it will hold up and not shoot loose 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickey Blackwater Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 According to Taurus's website they own and operate Heritage Manufacturing and their website states the following: "All Heritage branded firearms are made and serviced in the US at our facilities in Bainbridge, Georgia." I am for supporting American made. Mickey Blackwater. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Jake Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 (edited) Hi Johnny. I handled one at a shop yesterday. The action looks to be exactly like the Navy Arms you did for me, except of course for the double triggers. Barrel is stamped made by Hulu. No raised rib on the barrel, and no choke tubes. I like the looks and the beavertail forearm, but it somehow feels "cheaper" than the Navy Arms. The shell extractor is also only the bottom half, not the hourglass shape.

Jake, could that have said "Huglu" they make some of CZ's doubles for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a gunsmith, and I never saw the inside of a CZ in person, but from some pictures I've seen I suspect that the internals are virtually the same for all the Huglu-made shotguns, but I could be wrong. I know for a fact that the main springs from a CZ Sharptail will work in the Navy Arms Coach gun, because that's what I did. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeaconKC Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Okay then, be aware that Huglu has a proprietary cut for choke tubes, even on their CZ labeled guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
