First of all , does the gun fit you? If it doesn't, and you aren't prepared to have it fitted, keep looking. Secondly, when you close the action, is the release lever to the right of center? Usually on new guns, the lever is far right, and as wear occurs, the lever moves toward center. Is the action tight or is there any slop? Replaceable chokes is a non issue on an upland gun, as long as the chokes are IC/MOD or close to that. I prefer two triggers on an English stocked SxS, but it isn't a huge deal, and my O/U guns are all single trigger. I don't really care about ejectors, as I catch them as I open the gun, but ejectors can make for faster reloading if you find yourself in a covey of Hungarian Partridges of sharptails. Personally , I would be looking at a used Browning or Beretta in that price range.
