Hey Allen, there was a post in the old forum that concerned O/U shotguns and one of the posts included links to a number of shotgun companies, including Stoeger, etc. If you could pull that one up so i can save some of those links, i'd appreciate it. Gonna see if i can't get one with Income Tax this year. thanks, Brad Hudson Lubbock, TX

Here you go Brad: The under $1,000 requirement might make it tough to find a "name" over-under. I shoot auto myself, but here are some manufactuers websites you might peruse, then go to gunbroker.com, auctionarms.com and gunsamerica.com to see what kind of prices you can find. Good luck! http://www.charlesdaly.com/ -- only their field o-u's are under $1,000 http://www.franchiusa.com/ (the Franchi Alcione is a very good gun, but I don't know whether you can find a sub-$1k sale on it.) http://www.eaacorp.com/flash/high.html -- sells Baikal, a Russian gun that users online say is really quite good. http://www.huglushotgunsusa.com/ -- users have said good things about Huglu in forums. I actually handled one today at a dealer. Didn't impress me especially, but then, as I said, I'm not an over-under type guy. You can buy direct from the importer with a seven-day inspection period and NQA return. http://www.stoegerindustries.com/ -- Stoeger is owned by Benelli, which is in turn owned by Beretta. Their o-u is the Condor. http://www.traditionsmuzzle.com/shotguns.html -- Traditions o-u's are made by Fausti Stefano in Italy (http://www.faustistefanoarms.com/english/catalog.htm). http://www.tristarsportingarms.com/overunders.html -- Some of their o-u's are made by Emilio Rizzini (Italy), others by Sabala (Spain). The website tells you which is which. http://www.pmcammo.com/menu2.html -- The Verona guns are imported by PMC. I'm not sure of pricing. I am not aware of any Browning, Beretta, Fabarm, Remington or Winchester o-u that sells for sub-$1,000.
