Rocket's right... as usual. Just for hitting stuff, an 1100 or 391 tops the list. But... there's more to it than that.

My take is that 'production' SxS guns are more expensive than similar quality O/U guns because the barrel set is more labor intensive to build. Look at the problems with the Ruger, and listen to the bitching here about low to moderate priced SxS guns having problems with point of impact.
