I've got a ported Browning Cynergy 12g OU I'd probably let go reasonably. I never use it, actually letting a friend's son use it to see if he likes it before they go buy a new one. I bought it used a few years ago.

My personal tastes:

1. Used miroku o/u, exact same gun as Citori just a different name and less expensive (<$1000)
2. Used Browning Citori
3. Used Franchi instinct
4. Yildiz
5. cz

The cz’s I’ve shot were fine, I just wouldn’t pay retail for one. Ive No experience with yildiz but they look good for what you pay. I’d hate to have to find parts for either maker though.
Curious to your point/ranking on the CZs have you ran them in the field, or just at skeet? I’ve put about 300 rounds through mine and been pleased with performance on flat range and in cold heavy rain in the field so far. Field use it has seen so far was rough upland hunting, so it hasn’t been through a waterfowl season with me yet (I’m not very nice to my true hunting/resource guns).

just wondered i wanted to see one but it shows none in stock.
I had snagged the last cerakoted one they had at the time. FWIW the reason I chose the cz upland all terrain was for the anti-rust cerakote and none automatic safety’s which proved to be invaluable this last pheasant hunt.

I’m allergic to full retail anything outside of emergencies. The vast majority of my experience is with a woodcock 410 on clays/doves and I actually like the gun very much. I don’t think it is made anymore, but it was around $1000msrp. While I like it a lot and it has not failed in any way, I would not pay retail for it.
