When I was at the Big E gun show I ran across an older 12 gauge over under. I don't remember the exact name on it but I think it was Bioca or Bioci. Something like that. It had double triggers and as a kicker it was distributed by Kmart.

I played with it a little bit and it was solid with good blueing and some nice wood on it. I was tempted at the $200 price tag, but passed as there were to many other things I wanted.

Does anyone know anything about these over unders? I didn't haggle with the guy, but it was the tables right in front of Dunkin Donuts and he has the sign that says that he'd rather be in bed so make an offer. I bet I could of got it for $150 or less.

Not sure if they were pieces of crap or not.
 
Boito, from Brazil. Some (very few) might disagree but they are not worth
buying. If you already have one, great, shoot it until it dies, but not worth
buying. I've looked at a lot of shotguns in my quest for an O/U and read
about many more. Boitos are notorious for using soft metals and rough
machining on their innards. Parts are almost impossible to find. Stocks
tend to be crude and badly finished, but I saw a couple with decent stocks.
Double triggers don't necessarily denote quality. In fact it is easier to
build a double trigger gun, but harder to make a *quality* one at a competitive
price. Passing was a good plan.
