I too plan on a O/U in the near future, mine will be a 26 inch barrel 12 gauge andit will be my duck gun for the timber. I was hoping for a Red Label custom that was camo, I can only find a 28 inch though. The Beretta Silver Pigon S is one I plan on shouldering in the near future and a Franchi Renaissance also. There are some others like the Weatherby also that come recomended. Just look around and shoulder as many as you can, I bought my Son a Charles Daly 106 that seems nice, I wouldlike ejectors though which it doesn't have, I think the better named guns would have better rust preventiontoo.
