Ideas for a new 20Ga over/under?

[10Key]

For a wedding present, my wife gave me a "shotgun" of my choice...Actually, she gave me one of here Uncle's boxed 12 ga Citoris as a fill-in until I could go pick mine out...It is time to do that. Does anyone have a recommendation for a 20ga over/under? Budget is under $2k and I am looking for a field gun, not a range hound.

 Beretta 686 onyx 28in barrels.

   I've got the 26 inch barrels.  Little easier to swing when you're in tight quarters for grouse, quail and ringnecks.

If there is ever 1 shotgun that every man or woman should own it is a Citori. (im not bias or anything). they can be had for under 2k.
But the Beretta is also a very nice gun..
Could go and get a CZ Mallard and have enough for another gun..

I'd go with a Ruger Red Label.  I've got one in 12 ga. with 26" barrels.  It's a sweet shotgun.

He did say his budget was under 2k, and you can have a brand new, Citori 20gauge for under 2k. closer to 1500-1600, the berretta is right in that range also..
Or are you saying Browning is only as good as it is for the money which is not much?
Or that they are over priced for what you get?
We are talking shotguns here, over and unders and he didn't say "whats the best cheap over and under i can get for $500.00"..

I would vote the beretta myself.  Well made, great ballance and look good.

I would go handle a bunch of them and pick the one you like most.  A lot of guys like browning but they feel like a light 2x4 to me.  I like a red label but most guys will tell you they weigh to much.  Find what you like and buy it.
