Good entry level O/U?
 
Hey guys...I've seen lots of talk about whether it's better to get an O/U or SxS...I've decided to go the O/U route. Any suggestions for a good entry level, good value gun? I've got a 12 gauge Benelli as is so I'm thinking I'd like a 20 gauge to round out the cabinet...any recomendations?

Thanks,
Mike

I would recommend either the Beretta 686 or Rizinni Omnium Em . Both have very strong actions and are very dependable.

I'm kind of in the same boat... What is your price range?

Ajax - I'd like to spend less than $700.

What do you guys know about Stoeger guns in terms of quality and reliability. They have a selection of O/U's in the $350 - $600 range.

My dad and I both have Ithica(SKB) O/U in 20ga and love them. Mine is the model 600 and his is the 500. Both have single selective triggers, auto ejectors and shoulder awesome. Around here, a nice used model 600 will run you $550-600. The model 500 is a little cheaper. They're definately worth a look.

I just recently bought a Stoeger Condor Supreme and so far have been very happy with it. It fits me very well and I shoot well with it. Not every gun is going to fit every person though, so you need to pick one up and feel it. I got mine from Benton's Shooter's Supply in Benton, TN for $435.

If you can find an older Winchester 101 in 20ga you might fall in love with it!

I'd say the same as J D about an older Beretta Silver Snipe. They shoot nice and hold value well. 600- 800 bucks. One of my buddies bought the Benelli in a 20 this year and loves it.
