I am an avid hunter who recetly decided to focus on deer and upland bird hunting. I have a Remington 870 combo for now but i am looking at buying an over/under for the upland hunting. Since i hunt a lot of public land the gun needs to be compatible with steel shot. i have a 1000 dollar budget. I know nothing about whos who in the double barrel world and would like anything you have to say on this subject.

Thanks, Billy

ok so since no one answered me i did some research and found that stoeger, cz, and remington all have double barrels that are under 1000 dollars. which manufacturer is better and which one would you guys recomend

Get a ruger red label-100% american made,typical ruger strength,lifetime warranty,quality,strong design/lockup. It's much better (IMO) than the imported guns you mentioned. Even if you have to save up a lil to get it-WELL worth it. I would've responded sooner had I visited site and saw your post.

You left out "heavy", "recoil operated" trigger for second shot, and "single trigger"...All of whichare the reasons i won't have another one...

I like the Ruger Red Label in 20ga, very nice gun. I also own a Stoeger 20ga that has held up well over the years. For hunting I am pretty sure that most any gun out there will hold up well. If you are looking for a very light gun look at Yildiz, they wont stand up to volume shooting, but they do well for hunting purposes.

dont buy the stoeger I owned one for about a month shot it a bunch of time then it started to have alot of problems try the remington or the ruger

None of the above. Stoeger is trash, Remington is Russian trash, CZ is Turkish trash. For $1,000 you can find a used Browning Citori 12. The 20's tend to go a little higher in the used market. That gun will last the rest of your life and your grandkids life. Im not much of a Ruger fan. Rugers close like the doors on a 1972 Chevy Impala, Citori's close like a BMW.
