Johan, please deliberate on why you do not like the BRNO ZP47?

Gert,
I believe it's the Magnaporting that disqualifies this gun and not the model.

Gert,
As Oscar has said, the specific gun, with Mangnaporting, not the model. The small amount of felt recoil reduction by the porting, does not in any way make up for the massive increase in noise. And that coupled with the fact that there are some who do not hunt with earprotection and gundogs do not ever have earpro, makes it of zero use as a hunting gun. I am of course assuming that Noost's old lady wants to hunt with it. Even on the trap line, it is no fun shooting next to someone that shoots a ported barrel, if I am forewarned, I will double plug.

Re: Cost of a 2nd hand SxS 12G
Thank you Johan, Yes , I noticed the magna-porting afterwards..it really does not fit on a great old side by side, yes, you are correct, that will not do at at all... I have not noticed a magna port on any other side by side previously??? I would rather make the shotgun fitting my shooting style and physic , as well as fitting a good quality Pacmayer recoil pad before even considering adding such a monstrous feature to a side x side...

Re: Cost of a 2nd hand SxS 12G
Good morning all!
Thanks for all the informative responses.
@Johan, the reason she wants it is purely for a outdoor range toy. She loves a Western theme, as she rides Western style with horses. It is just something she enjoys.
So my thought was to shorten the barrel a bit and engrave it, if it does not have engraving and turn it into a coach gun.

For the purposes your wife wants it for, it will last her a lifetime.
I do not know what the legal process is regarding the shortening of the barrels, but I'm sure your local gunsmith will be able to advise. Otherwise contact Juan Brogiolo, he was Valley Trading's gunsmith and I always referred all shotgun work to them.

Re: Cost of a 2nd hand SxS 12G
Noost, u posted a long list on page 2 from Classic Arms. The Miroku is made in Japan and is of very good quality. I would put that on the short list with CZ / Brno.
U should consider not shortening the barrel too much cause recoil will become more harsh and shot will disperse in wider pattern. In my opinion an 18" barrel which would be identical to your Defender should be about ideal for the task at hand.
