[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1260382, member: 7123"] Fox or Savage, used. Less $$ than your budget, and very good. For something a little newer and fancier (but not necessarily better), a slightly used Huglu / CZ / DeHaan should come in at about that - maybe even new on sale somewhere. Some of the Huglus are scaled down - the 28 gauges are nicely proportioned guns; maybe others. I would definitely put the Huglus a good notch or two above the "also rans" - Yildiz, Mossberg, Baikal, etc. A lot nicer fit & finish; not sure about longevity though. The new-ish Stevens 512 (O/U) and 612 (SxS) Goldwings are also fully-scaled, independently for every caliber, and around $500 new. Interesting but I'm not sure how good. Turkish-made, of course. I would put these, on first glance, between the Yildiz/Mossberg/Baikal/etc., and the Huglus, in fit and finish. Maybe a bit closer to Yildiz. I prefer a semi-auto or pump. I can just hit a little better for some reason - and a good one is cheaper (albeit with fewer braggin rights). This: is excellent advice. Save a *little* more, and get a *lot* better gun. A good used 'B gun' (Browning, Beretta) or Franchi or Winchester can come in at the $1k and up mark. Something like a Citori or Cynergy - good stuff. [/QUOTE]
