RE: O/U shotguns 1000-2000 dollar range
I have a CZ 28 ga Woodcock. A very nice gun. Just a tad heavy for a 28 (weighs morelike a20 ga and may be on a 20 ga frame)but still nice to carry and very little recoil. Reaches out pretty good also. A very good value for the dollar.
The Berettas are very nice guns and fit me well.Theyare low profile andthe 686 20 ga is nice and reallylight to carry.
Another real good buy for an O/U in this price rangeis the Verona made by F.A.I.R. (Rizzini) out of Italy, imported by PMC and sold under the Verona name.Less expensive than the same gun with the FAIR name. I have a 692LX Sporting12 ga. Fits good and is solid as a rock. Full sideplates with gold inlayand nice walnut stockwith a oiled matt finish make for a fine looking gun that won't break the bank.
