I'll give you a good deal on a Stoger Condor O/U, I've not put it in the classifieds yet.

Franchi 20 gauge is super light, fast and very well balanced.  Bought one for the squaw and liked it so much I traded in my Citori and bought one for myself.  Been 4 or five years ago but I don't think I paid more than six bills for them.  I fell and broke a feeding tube the first year and that has been the only problem.  Got two for replacements just in case and they are still sitting in the safe unused.

A little hard to find around these parts, but best bang for the buck in my opinion.  The squaw and I figure we are down to about $0.65 per bird on ours.

 A friend of mine just told me he's selling a Benelli 12ga semi-auto for $800. It's appraised at $1200 but he just needs to get rid of it -divorce!

You won’t find a better gun at any price.

I've got an old Mossberg88 Maverick.  It's the $200  "Security" model with an 18in bbl.   New barrels are only about $170

Well under $700 :chuckle:

semi auto shotguns piss me off when theyre unreliable. I love my Winchester 1300, you can find them if you look. 870 Wingmaster would be nice. As another guy said, that Weatherby PA-08 looks nice, pretty wood almost like wingmaster for less money. BPS, with the wierd bottom eject, ive seen them at gunshows for 300, Idk what they are new, I know Browning is proud of their guns.

20 gauge Rem 870 x 100 :IBCOOL:

This might sound funny but shoulder a youth model too. Sometimes they fit just right when wearing heavy winter clothes.

Seriously consider weight in your purchase. The lighter the gun the easier it is to SAFELY lug around all day.

Good luck!
