Default Suggestions for a budget-friendly 20 GA over-under shotgun
Hi guys. I'm looking to use my tax return to pick up a 20 GA over-under shotgun for upland bird hunting. I have a 12 GA Beretta Silver Pigeon that I use at the range, but am not looking to spend that kind of money on something I may use 2 to 3 times a year. I'm left handed, so the potential shotgun would need to be cast-neutral. Would appreciate any suggestions you might have. Thanks in advance.

Citoris are cast neutral, so a used Citori might be a good choice if it fits you. I have seen older ones with fixed chokes going for around $1000.

My wife has a tristar o/u 20ga. She uses it on clays. For $550 it works great.

Yildiz would be my choice for a new field gun in that price range.

I have a CZ Redhead Deluxe for grouse hunting and I love it, the wife has a Mossberg Silver Reserve and it is also a nice gun for birds

I was shopping for a truck/quad chicken gun last year and took a good hard look at Stevens 555,seems like a really nice lil gun for the money?
Only reason I didn't buy one is couldn't find it locally in 28ga.
For a bit more money I really liked the Yildiz lineup as well,but honestly thought they might be a bit too pretty for my intended use and abuse.
End of the day I still don't have either yet.
