JoeA, the Ruger is not in the superposed class but neither is the price ..I have seen Rugers for less then 1000 at most gun shows I go to and they are a very good gun probably stronger lockup then a Citori andd Rugers CS is way better then the black hole at Browning. I have had one bad experience with a Citori and don't see what the big deal is about them. A good friend just picked up a Beretta Silver Pigeon S 20 gauge w/28" barrels ..that is probably the sweetest 20 gauge I have picked up in a while and the price is in the 1600 dollar range.
