In a word..Nope..except you can find a nice used O/U made by the big names for a fair price. I just bought a really nice Winchester 101 for a friend at a gun show. It was a 28 inch 20 ga..no screw chokes..and looked pretty much new. Not like new tight but not shot much. Paid 700 bucks which I thought was a steal. 101s and Citoris..check the forends..they cracked easily on some.. Rugers are good guns..they do have a bit of recoil..and no matter what you buy..make certain it is 28 inches on bbl length. The Berettas are pretty good guns..but some of the cheaper ones had a few problems. So many of the cheaper O/Us imported today are from Russia and the old eastern block countries and some are the cheap Spanish junkers. If you buy an O/U nowdays..stick with the better names..Oh another decent O/U is the SKB..nice well made shotguns..Also sold in the US by Weatherby.
