Like others have said, Beretta, Browning, and Ruger all make quality O/U shotguns, and I have owned Berettas and Brownings and handled several Rugers owned by friends. My taste runs toward the Beretta which I have an english grip Onyx now. My only complaint about Brownings is that they tend to be more "clubby". My only complaint about Rugers is that they don't tend to be as "tight" and flop open. I have a friend that really USES his Red Label, and the guns can take alot of abuse with little effect. Any way you go you will have a great gun.
