The wife told me today that she wants to get a 20 guage...so I'm in the market for a 20 guage To keep costs down I'd like to stay under $700, so I'm probably looking at used guns. Though I did see a decent looking CZ at Cabelas a week or two ago and I think they wanted $800ish for it...so I might be willing to splurge a bit to get something NEW. I'm not really a fan of used guns...
Anyway, is there any particular brand or model to look into? I know everyone will recommend the 'Bs'...Beretta and Browning. Which is fine, I'm just not sure I will find one in my price range. All my shotguns are 12 gauge so I've never really shopped for 20 gauges. I assume prices are very similar to 12 gauge. Does CZ make a quality shotgun? I know their handguns and rimfires are highly recommended by their owners, so I assume their shotguns are equal in quality.
Are there any quality choices out there in the new market for $700? I'm thinking not...but some of you will know better than I do. This doesn't need to be top-of-the-line...she will shoot maybe 1000 rounds a year out of it. But I don't want junk either. Thanks for the help in advance.
