The Red Labels are nice and as mentioned above can be found used in that price range.

The CZ Teal O/U gets good reviews as well and Sportsman's Warehouse had them on sale a short time ago.
And yes...M_59's Citori is the one to buy; I own a Citori Satin Hunter that I have hunted waterfowl with for years.

In friendly disagreement, I am very pleased with my Stevens Model 555 in 28 Ga.; nice wood and on a true 28 Ga. frame at a nice price.

I’m nore than pleased with my Griffin and Howe Arrieta, but the second I shouldered a Purdey, I could see that the two guns werent in the same league. CZ’s and Stevens are Turkish guns, and 99% of Turkish guns have a long way to go before they match the quality of a B gun or Miroku. Not to say they won’t get there, but as of now, they aren’t. Spanish guns were the same way a long time ago as well, but the Spaniards figured it out and have since made phenomenal guns, but at nowhere near the price point of a Turkish gun. One good thing I’ll say about Turkish guns is typically, the wood quality is WAY above the rest of the gun. You can’t say the same about lower grade Berettas.

Well I’m looking for a ou shotgun. Unfortunately don’t know squat about them I once shot a browning citori once. I saw a cz woodchuck g2 in 12 gauge I found a place that had 3 of them. Just don’t know anything about them. I was going to use it for chukars, quail and pheasant. May just get a stoeger m3000. Not even sure if u can get a good one for 700.00 most of the ones I see are 1500.00.
I shoot my stoeger condor 20g quite a bit and haven't had any issues with it. I'm sure it's a cheaply made piece of junk to some but it has never failed me, it kills birds and I bought it for well under 700.
I bought it right after I passed up a Red Label that was twice the price but much prettier.

Look at those older Daly Miroku's. Bargain prices in 12 and 20 gauges. Back in the day many considered them every bit as good as the Browning Superimposed O/U's.
Good luck in your search. :tup:

CZ has a growing following and most people who own them like them.
I have a CZ Woodcock G2 and it has been a great gun for the money and it came with a multi year warranty. .
Tristar puts out some very affordable doubles as well and I know several guys who have used them without fail. They also come with a 5 year warranty.
I also have a Stoeger Condor Supreme that I bought a little over 10 years ago. Never a failure. But if I had to do it again and wanted a sub $1000 O/U I would buy CZ.
These guns are made for hunting and some light duty at the range. If you intend to go pound out thousands upon thousands of rounds shooting clays then spend some more money and buy a more expensive gun. But for the budget conscious hunter who wants a double I don’t think you can go wrong with CZ. Particularly the newer ones since their parts are largely CNC’d now.
Or to frame it another way. You can spend $1500-$2000 on a double or you can spend $700ish on a double with a warranty and if you get 10 years out of it is that really a failure?
