I've changed my mind on the sub $1000 O/Us recently after getting a chance to handle some of them. They usually have cheap stocks made of wood colored plastic, and the actions feel a little too tight, but other than that they look like decent guns. I still doubt that they will hold up as long as a Browning Citori, but for casual shooting or hunting, they should last a long time. I'm very interested in getting a EAA 20 guage SxS after looking at them.
