too_pointer Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Re: over unders I have a fairly new Beretta 686 Covey Quail 20 ga. I don't think you will find a new one though, they only made a special run of 750. It is a medium end o.u. ( for you AJ ) I luv it, it is light and handles great. I'm pretty much a semi-man for years, so not alot of experience in the 2 barrel jobs LOL. too_pointer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Re: over unders Dad has an old Kassnar 410 o/u, he got it for a wedding present from my mom! its a great little gun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Xen Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Re: over unders great o/u for the price is a browning citori. only bad thing i can say about mine is that i wore it out apparently they aren't meant for shooting competition skeet. mine had right around 25,000 rounds through it and the locking blocks wore to the point that i couldn't shoot 12 gauge in it. i'd shoot and the thing would open up... 20, 28 and .410 all shoot through it still, but i'm sending the receiver back to get the block replaced. o/u shotguns are great if you ever want to shoot multiple gauges. i have a tube set for mine and can shoot the 4 main (12,20,28,.410) it makes it really nice for hunting smaller birds like quail, dove or chuckar. imo, 12 gauge is just too much for those smaller birds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Re: over unders I have a pair of Remington 3200 o/u trap guns and a Charles Daly Empire Sporting Clay o/u gun. Get a good gun and it will last a long time. Minimums IMO are Browning Citori, Beretta 682. I have seen many Brownings that are over the 50,000 mark and still going. Most Rugers Red Labels have to get rebuilt around the 20K mark. Keep the lugs properly lubed and the lockup will last a lot longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffett1 Posted July 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Re: over unders Not to sound like a moron, but what's an IMO? Does it have to do with shots taken? I have seen the talk about the Brownings, what about Beretta? How do they stack up to the Brownings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Colorado Bob Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Re: over unders IMO----in my opinion I've got a Beretta Essential. Good gun. I think Beretta & Browning are about equal----like Ford vs Chevy. Rugers Red Labels are close also. Try them all & find the one that fits you. Get it & the shooting will come much easier.

AJ Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Re: over unders [ QUOTE ] but what's an IMO? [/ QUOTE ] IMO = in my opinion Like Bob said, Beretta and Browning are similar quality mechanically. Beretta offers a higher grade (DT10) than Browning does.

Guest Xen Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Re: over unders actually, on the whole beretta vs browning topic, i'll pass on what i have found through field shooting and target shooting combined. the berettas generally cost a little more, but, what you get is a gun that can handle more rounds over-all, but needs to be kept clean. the citori is a little less expensive and when i contacted browning, the rep told me that the field grade browning citori, which was around $1000, wasn't meant to see more than 15,000 rounds. that it was meant for a field gun that would shoot even if you dropped it in the mud. as far as the guns themselves are concerned, they shoot the same way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted July 1, 2005 Report Share Posted July 1, 2005 Re: over unders I have 2, but I don't think you could get either one of them. The first one is a 20 ga. Dan Arms The other one my brother in law gave me when he came back from Turkey. It's a 12 ga. but I have no idea of the make or model.

dogdoc Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 Re: over unders i have never shot an over/under. When I use to quail hunt a lot I eyed a 20 gauge one for a long time but ended up getting a Browning auto 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carbonhunter Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Re: over unders I love my double guns, I shoot a SxS for the early season and then pull out the O/U for the later season work and Waterfowl/turkeys I have owned two red labels, a couple of American Arms, a Beretta, and two brownings one a superposed and the other that i have now is a citori field. Love them all but the red label's action used to freeze up on me in real cold weather (like minus cold) here is a couple of pics of the double guns I own now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Re: over unders Winchester 101 20 ga Winchester 91 12 ga The 101 points better, but I really can't tell a difference in the field on upland birds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
