Re: Decent O/U Shotgun
I have owned a couple dozen O/U's over the years and currently have a Beretta Onyx 12 ga with an English stock. Having owned, handled, and shot a few different brands, my favorite is Beretta. My second favorite was a Browning Lightning that I owned about 15 years ago, and my Dad has it now. He does most of his hunting with a Beretta Onyx 20 ga now though.
The main thing is to find one that FITS YOU. I have owned several Beretta Silver Pigeons and Silver Pigeon Sportings, but none of them "fit" me like the Onyx that I have now.
If you watch Gunbroker, you can probably find an Onyx in your price range.
