I can say DITTO to that. I had a Red Label and sold it to pay a truck payment in my early 20's. After a while I decided I wanted (deserved in my opinion) another shotgun. While I was saving my money, I shot every gun I could get my hands on. O/U's such as Red Labels, Berretas, Brownings, Winchester Supremes, Mossberg Silvers and an enormous variety of semi auto's. When it was all said and done, I purchased a fine Citori Super Lightening and I haven't regretted it since!

I will say, I had a blast shooting all of those guns. Even if your not going to buy one, it's still fun to shoot other types of guns.

GOOD LUCK!

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.

It might depend on how many shots are cycled thru those things...here a lot of guys at the sporting clays place trash them. Were do you guide for Pheasants?

I saw a used Perazzi MT-6a while back in Cabela's gun library for under $1500.
Having owned one previously I can say they do shoot very well.
