Baikal, Brno, or Husqvarna?

Hello all,

I'm going hunting with a group of friends who have a bit more experience than I with shotguns. I've never really had much of an interest in them but the area requires shotguns and doesn't permit centrefire rifle.

The only experience with shotguns is an old SxS that's been in the family.

I've decided on a SxS or O/U, since it has the benefit of offering me two chokes without having to get those screw-in chokes. And ideally I don't want to spend too much on something I will be using once for this trip so I've narrowed down my selection to 3 shotguns that fit this criteria.

1. Baikal IJ 12 or 27
2. Husqvarna 300 or 600-series
3. Brno ZH301

Anyone who can help me decide between these? Just looking for someone who has had personal experience with any of these and can recommend one over the others. Or any other realtively cheap SxS or O/U options that I've missed?

Thanks CGN:)

Baikal IJ 12. Bulletproof, versatile, ergonomic. I have one. To me, it is a keeper and the best bargain in its price range.
 
Husqvarnas are great shotguns, but be careful if you plan on hunting waterfowl. Tight chokes and steel shot might not mix well mix well with 80 to 100 year old guns.
 
Thanks for all the great suggestions and tips. I'm going with a Brno from Trade Ex. It's a great looking gun and I hope that I'll bag some things with it when I got hunting.:)
