over unders

[buffett1]

How many of you guys have over unders and if you do have one, what do you have? I'm shopping for one and am looking for input.

[6sixpoint_nobrows]

my dads friend has one its a remington he really likes it!

[too_pointer]

I have a fairly new Beretta 686 Covey Quail 20 ga.
I don't think you will find a new one though, they only made a special run of 750. It is a medium
end o.u. ( for you AJ ) I luv it, it is light and handles great. I'm pretty much a semi-man for years, so not alot of experience in the 2 barrel jobs LOL.

Dad has an old Kassnar 410 o/u, he got it for a wedding present from my mom! its a great little gun!

great o/u for the price is a browning citori. only bad thing i can say about mine is that i wore it out apparently they aren't meant for shooting competition skeet. mine had right around 25,000 rounds through it and the locking blocks wore to the point that i couldn't shoot 12 gauge in it. i'd shoot and the thing would open up... 20, 28 and .410 all shoot through it still, but i'm sending the receiver back to get the block replaced. o/u shotguns are great if you ever want to shoot multiple gauges. i have a tube set for mine and can shoot the 4 main (12,20,28,.410) it makes it really nice for hunting smaller birds like quail, dove or chuckar. imo, 12 gauge is just too much for those smaller birds

[gfourhunter]

i use a ruger red label for dove hunting and love it.

[waterfowler_gal]

I shot a Browning Citori lightfeather... love it but I want the Cynergy next...

I have a pair of Remington 3200 o/u trap guns and a Charles Daly Empire Sporting Clay o/u gun. Get a good gun and it will last a long time. Minimums IMO are Browning Citori, Beretta 682. I have seen many Brownings that are over the 50,000 mark and still going. Most Rugers Red Labels have to get rebuilt around the 20K mark. Keep the lugs properly lubed and the lockup will last a lot longer.

[buffett1]

Not to sound like a moron, but what's an IMO? Does it have to do with shots taken? I have seen the talk about the Brownings, what about Beretta? How do they stack up to the Brownings?

[Colorado Bob]

IMO----in my opinion I've got a Beretta Essential. Good gun. I think Beretta & Browning are about equal----like Ford vs Chevy. Rugers Red Labels are close also. Try them all & find the one that fits you. Get it & the shooting will come much easier. CB

IMO = in my opinion

Like Bob said, Beretta and Browning are similar quality mechanically. Beretta offers a higher grade (DT10) than Browning does.

[Xen]

actually, on the whole beretta vs browning topic, i'll pass on what i have found through field shooting and target shooting combined. the berettas generally cost a little more, but, what you get is a gun that can handle more rounds over-all, but needs to be kept clean. the citori is a little less expensive and when i contacted browning, the rep told me that the field grade browning citori, which was around $1000, wasn't meant to see more than 15,000 rounds. that it was meant for a field gun that would shoot even if you dropped it in the mud. as far as the guns themselves are concerned, they shoot the same way

[Tominator]

I have 2, but I don't think you could get either one of them.

The first one is a 20 ga. Dan Arms

The other one my brother in law gave me when he came back from Turkey. It's a 12 ga. but I have no idea of the make or model.

[dogdoc]

i have never shot an over/under. When I use to quail hunt a lot I eyed a 20 gauge one for a long time but ended up getting a Browning auto 20.

[WGumz]

Remington 3200 Trap, Charles Daly Trap, Skeet, and Field. Love them all.
