RE: O/U and SxS questions
I was just at a local gunshop and they had a few Citoris and one Beretta 686 in the 650-700 range.
For a new gun around 700 I would highly reccomend a CZ Redhead shotgun. One of my hunters has one, and he loves it, and I love it. That gun has been on a few dove shooting trips in Argentina and it is a very tight and good looking gun for the money. I am saving pennies right now for a 28 gauge CZ.
For early season I like to have IC/M in my over unders. My 20 gauge side-by-side has a M/F, which works well for that gun.
The nice thing about a shotgun with a F/F or M/F is you can probably have them threaded for chokes.
