I'm trying to find a hammer shotgun for western action shooting but it's proving to be difficult as I can't find anyone selling them new in Australia anymore. A couple websites had a Huglu HRZ but when I called they'd sold it and one said they're discontinued.
Does anyone know any brands that still sell new hammer shottys or recommend the best to look for 2nd hand?
I want a 12g and 20 inch barrel (coach gun) as it's for competition not hunting.

Do you want new? What about second hand?

Ideally new. Depending on price/quality/availability might have to be 2nd hand. Some of the 2nd hand shotguns around look pretty rough

The Rossi Overland 12g coach guns would seem to fit the bill. They come up for sale fairly regularly , have 3" chambers and 20" barrels.There are some with longer barrels and different bores that appear less often.
I've had mine for five or so years and am still happy with it.

+1. Haven't had mine that long, but I bought it second hand and it's been great fun.

Had a Rossi Overland, sold it to my brother when I bought an U&O. Fine shotgun, not much to go wrong with it but it did kick significantly with field loads. It's light so use appropriate loads.
