20 GA Over/Under- spend my money

Go shoulder some and see what feels right. Buy that one. Citori shoulders real nice for me, Beretta does not.

Quite a few Red Label 20’s on GunBroker rt now…just saying

Legit question: why are decent shotguns seemingly SO much more expensive than decent rifles?

I’m following this thread closely and saving my pennies, but shotgun shopping makes me feel extra poor.

Design; flowing lines, symmetry, elegance
Attention to detail
So many reasons

Not sure what’s the budget for this shotgun but I recently got a used browning citori in 20 ga but if you have the money I’d go new. Very good hunting gun in my experience.

I ended up meeting up with a fellow HTer who was selling his 20ga Beretta Silver Pigeon. Versus shouldering different models at a store, we shot a couple rounds of sporting clays so I could try the shotgun first hand. It fit like a glove, and has been a true joy to carry and shoot. In 4 days out, I've come home with 3 limits of Duskies, and am salivating at cooler temps to chase sharptails, huns, and pheasants later this fall. I even picked up a couple boxes of bismuth so I had an excuse to hunt waterfowl with when the temps drop even more.

*Edit to add that the bonus is the shotgun looks as nice as it shoots. When you're better half compliments your gun purchase, you've done something right.

I have the same shotgun, and love it. Fit is everything, and it sounds like you found the right one.

I’d be looking at that CZ upland ultralight all terrain. I have the 12ga and it’s a great carry and the 20ga is lighter and sleeker yet.
