After spending two days shooting a Browning Citori on a recent upland bird hunt I've got this itch to go buy one. But $2200 is pretty steep. Anyone got any recommendations on some of the others out there?

Franchi Instinct?
Berretta Silver Pigeon?
Winchester 101?
Savage 512?
Ruger Red?
Stoeger Condor?

I am not looking for something super fancy, just a nice shooting O/U.

wick...you out there? Pretty sure you're an O/U guy.

Mossberg Silver Reserve II is a reasonably priced O/U 20 ga.

I have one for quail and pheasant and it does the trick. It does have extractor barrels so you have to manually take out the used shells, but that actually works in my favor because the owners prefer to not have used shells in their fields. Good dove shooting gun too.

I like the sxs guns better than the over unders. Used is a great option, good quality guns are made to last generations, no need to buy new. What length barrels were you shooting? 28" is standard but longer barrels tend to sell for a premium on the used market. A well balanced 20 with 30" barrels is very nice...

You can get the 725 Field for under 2K all day every day.

Of the others I would say the Berretta, then the Ruger would be my choices.

Bought the old man a CZ mallard 12ga a little while back. It's no citori, but it points and shoots well and seems well built. Think I walked out the door $750 later. They make a similar 20ga.
