So my dad wants a side by side he wants double triggers with a 28" barrel. It's no problem finding that but finding one with a synthetic stock is the problem only double barrels i can find with them are for home defense.
Any sugggestions on where to find something like that?
Only reason is because it will be used for hunting and he would rather not destroy the wood on a nice shotgun. Also under 1,000$ would be nice.
oh and have it be ready for chokes

>he would rather not destroy the wood
lolwut, a wood stock is not just gonna go to shit unless you store it in a moist basement for 200 years or use it as a club
like I don't understand how you would ruin the stock on a sporting shotgun if it wasn't deliberate
You're sol. Most sxs arn't budget guns so they don't put budget furniture on them. Wood isn't fragile. Wood is repairable. And wood isnt expensive, you're not going to get a Turkish walnut stock.

i don't mean like destroy it just make it look like shit

he only used this one for five years and that's what he did to it so that's mostly the reason why he doesn't want wood

Tell him that as long as he's not literally beating briars with it, he won't scar it up.

You ARE going to get Turkish walnut, as they're pretty much the only place left with cheap walnut. What you're NOT going to get is high-figure Circassian walnut.
CZ/Huglu makes some pretty decent SxS's for around a grand that come with halfway decent turk walnut because lolmadeinturkey.

true modern wood finish is made to last also would help if i could get him to use a gun case

wtf is wrong with this? its just cosmetics, and easily fixed with some paint stripper, stain, and lacquer coating. in fact if you just polycoated it, it wont ever look like that again

Go to any gun show in the south and you'll find racks upon racks of side-by-sides at fire sale prices. They will all be wood stocks, but if he's really worried about wearing them out he could buy two and stay under $1,000.
