270 Man,

As others have said, "There is a difference between Price and Value."

I bought my first O/U in 1995. It was a 12 gauge Citori with 5 choke tubes. I have bought others and all were well above $500. Although I have many pump and semi-auto shotguns, the 12 Citori choked IC and Full is all the gun I need here in the Big Woods of northcentral Pennsylvania. Second to the 12 Citori is the Browning Sweet 16 made in 1940. I suspect I have Browning product loyalty when it comes to great shotguns.

Adam

Guys,

Thanks for all the good inputs. Almost all were in agreement with my thinking, and I will pass these comments on to my friend. Skeet, there is one thing that puzzles me -- why must the O/U have 28-inch barrels? All my O/Us and the ones I've given to my sons as gifts are 20-gauge and have 26-inch barrels. I might prefer the longer barrel in 12-gauge for pass shooting on waterfowl, but the shorter and lighter 20 is just the ticket for fast quail shooting -- IMHO.
