But the Beretta is also a very nice gun..
Could go and get a CZ Mallard and have enough for another gun..

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..If there is ever 1 shotgun that every man or woman should own it is a Citori.

:dunno:
Or are you saying Browning is only as good as it is for the money which is not much? :dunno:
Or that they are over priced for what you get? :dunno:
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"..

1.an OU is the only Browning product I would consider owning.
2.I like the Ruger Red Label and
3.I have used a Beretta that was wonderful.
of these 3 the beretta easily handled the best for me, I prefer 28 inch as the guns are already so short and I prefer pistol grip rather than straight.
What a fun shopping trip.

1. Red Label 28" barrel: Felt solid, swung nice...but very heavy!
2. CZ 26" side by side: Felt great, very light, but I didn't like the site window with the side-by-side
3. Red Label 26" barrell: Felt great, compact, swung great, shouldered awesome and very light (leader of the pack so far)
4. Citori 28" barrel: Solid, very well built, a bit longer stock so it shouldered a bit funky
I am still trying the find a 20 gauge white Onyx or a Urika to throw up. I am going to hit up Kesselrings to try a Corona and hopefully find a Beretta to try. As of now, the 26" Red Label is the leader.

The ruger should be at 7lbs 26", 7.5lbs 28"
You did hit on a few good points about the guns you did look at.
1) Lively feel of the gun, some guns can feel lighter due to there balance in your hands, and you might notice they point naturally.
2) The way the gun shoulders is paramont, if you have to readjust after bringing the gun to your shoulder then it does not fit, and you wont shoot very well, i dont care how much the gun costs or who makes it, it should fit.
I have an old savage 12gauge that fits me great, paid $60.00 for it and it points itself, ugly as sin though, fixed choke but i have humbled a few $$$$ guns with it.
I've upgraded more than once since that gun but i've never gotten rid of it..

Just go handle a bunch and see which one fits you best. In your budget range I would establish a low of a 1K unless you're looking used. While CZs and some others have come quite a way, they really aren't up to the B guns.
Don't know much about the Wins these days. Have heard they are being produced in Belgium since Browning bought em. Used Miroku's from Japan are pretty nice guns. There's a boat load of decent Italians out there too. Not sure of the price but Caesar Guerini makes a really nice gun... maybe over 2K though.

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.SKB® Mdl 505 (http://www.skbshotguns.com/over-and-under/field/505-promotion-specs.php)

You got married and your wife gave you a present? .......... and the present is a $2,000 shotgun? :o
I've never heard of the wife giving a wedding present to the husband (other than what happens behind closed doors on the honey moon)......... :)

I can't wait to hit the fields this fall, it should be a ton more fun carrying this piece of art around compared to the 12 gauge Nova that I have been packing around.
