Akkar 3 Hog Stopper - Feedback wanted

[salate]

Hi guys,

After some opinions on the Akkar 3 Hog Stopper triple barrel.

How does it compare to similar prices twin options. They're going for about $1,800 at the moment new.

Is quality as good or does it suffer a little to have the 3rd barrel 'feature'?

Thanks all.

I haven't used one bit they were reviewed on the last sporting shooter magazine.

That's sitting unopened on my desk somewhere

Been too slack and had no idea, I will find it

The triple barrel is a hook, no doubt, and not that much of an edge IMO.

We've been getting by with single and double barrels for 100+ years after all.

That said, by all reports their a quality shotgun and are an affordable price point.

The one drawback i see in the reports I've read is the there is no barrel selector - can't choose which barrel to fire 1st.

other than that the reviews are favorable.

Heavy... if I wanted more than 2 shots in a cat. A B , 12 gauge I'd go for a lever action or a bolt action.

one thing is for sure..... theyre 50% better than a double!!

Iess the only draw backs as the potential extra mass and bulk, plus I like ejectors, else, you have an extra shot there. nothing wrong with that.

Initially I wasnt really interested, but I'm liking the idea of a triple 20inch for plinking....and a spot of hunting

edit to add: they apparently come in 18.5 inch!! (not for Aus though I understand)

You sound quite excited... For something we're not getting

This would be as good as and more reliable than a semi auto if you could rig up some kind of three shell speed loader and sling. Imagine if you could trip all three tubes at once! ouch.

Would look something like this

$1,600 hey.

With 5 chokes included that ain't bad.

it takes quite a bit to excite me nowadays....a triple in 20inch good... 18.5inch better.

I saw in the video for the extractors the shells come out at about 3 heights each.

Is that deliberate so you can get a grip on each one in order? Or just random how far they eject?

I have one in 20" configuration, impressed with quality and reliability, great for shooting geese as well as pigs.

[salate]

The 20" is the one I'd go if it happens

Lucky chance in the video.

Each just slide out a little further than the next. They're pretty smooth from what I've seen, a shake is enough to drop them all out without needing to touch them.
