O/U Shotguns
I'm looking to buy anew 20 ga O/U shotgun and wanted some opinions. I will be primarily using it for upland hunting and I'm looking to spend about $1800 (max). There are (3) guns that I'm looking at, but would appreciate any input:
1) Browning, Cynergy
2) Ruger, Red Label
3) Beretta, Silver Pidgeon S
Let me know your thoughts and thanks.

RE: O/U Shotguns
Roskoe: Thanks for the great expert opinion. Does this go for even this new style which is only a couple of years old?
Gopher: I own a Browning BPS and have tried the 12 ga Cynergy for size. It fits and feels nice, but would like to find a 20 ga. I would also like to find a place where I could shoot all three (or more if there are other options). The Berretta was recommended to me by a long time wingshooter who said they are wonderful guns.
Rebel: If you still had it I'd buy it from you for $350. Heck, I may even go up to $400!

RE: O/U Shotguns
It's refreshing to see someone willing to spend enough to get a good O/U...instead of some %^*&%#@ built thing.
My personal feelings is that the SKB 505 and other models are to be considered in the top values of over/under shotguns
www.skbshotguns.com
also the Browning Citori
I personally would not recommend any of the ones you have listed.

Vapodog:
I hope the guns work better than the website. I've been trying to access it since yesterday and my computer keeps locking up. Maybe I should take it personally.
I'll keep trying and thanks for the suggestion.
