help buying first O/U shotgun

[Dawg]

I've used a Ruger Red Label in the past. It has a very nice balance to it.

Great deal on a 12 guage Browning CItori o/U in almost new condition. Good, solid shotgun.

I've drpped the price to $1100 because I just dont' use it and woudl rather have some other gear, but it's worth far more.

"UncleWalther"----NOW THAT, is a great gun at an AWESOME price
I've handled this actual gun, it's as close to new condition without actually buying a new one for WWWWAAAAYYYY more $$$$$$$ PLUS 14% tax

IF, you are really serious about buying a very good quality gun at bargin basement price, BUY THIS ONE

Only of course if you are really serious about buying a good gun and not just "Blowing Air on the CGN" about wanting to buy a gun.

With all the great advice that has been given to you by many of the board members,( most of them saying Browning/Beretta ) you will never (in my opnion) find a better buy than this gun, in this condition, for this price

YOUR MOVE

I would buy a used browning superposed or beretta.

I would buy a used browning superposed or beretta.

So would I

But why not a Citori after all, the 'Superposed' is an older model, granted made in Belgeium and known as an 'FN' but does not have ( to my knowledge) interchangeable chokes

Gatehouse, that is a great deal on the Citori. A buddy of mine had the same one, and it shot wonderfully. I liked it, especially for birding and sporting clays.

Shouldn't last long at that price

Ohhhh, 649 where are you when I need you???? My next firearm purchase will be for my youngest son. He getting into hunting with me and wants his own rifle.

This Browning of Gatehouse's is a SHOTGUN

I know, but Dad still wants to get more toys too. But occasionally "She whom must be obeyed", my wife must be listened to. I was an interesting one telling her that I'm getting her "baby" his own rifle. So maybe next year for the O/U for me.

 

[haggisbasher]

I want to buy a relatively nice, but not outrageously expensive O/U shotgun for bird hunting.

Reliability and overall quality are important to me. I could care less, however, about paying big dollars for exotic woods and fancy engraving on the reciever.

What would you folks suggest?

WELL; have you decided what to buy,or have you already bought a shotgun, ooooorrrrrrr, are you still researching

 

[Dawg]

It's up in the air right now. My last two purchases have been black powder. And maybe a BP shotgun might be in order. I have an 870 some time now and found that it has been a very versitle shotgun for me.
