Looking for a decent gun but dont want to break the bank. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. The best hunting is between now and dark.

Huglu under $1000 single or double trigger, extractors, screw in chokes http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=249602264 Did you want to spend more than that? 28 inch may be hard to find on an inexpensive sxs Mike Last edited by skeettx; 09/10/11 10:29 PM.

He might find a good Parker Reproduction in that price range, another less expensive but nice choice is the Weatherby D'Italia for under 2K. Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear.

With some serious looking, you could find a nice Spanish gun. I have seen NIB AOC/SG (Uggies) on auction sites for $2500, even before prices softened, and the standard Uggie boxlocks can be had for less than that. They are very good guns, and can hold their own with the RBL and Parker Repro.
