i was looking on the rizzini usa page specificaly at the Aurum model.
The Aurum is a very nice gun, but a new one is probably over your $2500 budget, and I'm pretty sure they use steel frames. Not too many of them available in the used market. If you want a steel-framed gun, it's a whole lot easier to find a Beretta, new or used. My favorite Beretta field O/U is the original Black Onyx, which can be had used for way less than your budget, and you might even be able to fit a set of Cole's upgraded wood and stay under $2500 total. The Beretta field grades are notable for their plain wood, but every once in a while a really nice one pops up. And a Black Onyx with nice wood is much more elegant than any of the fancypants guns that Beretta has brought out subsequently. From what you have described so far, I'd rule out anything from Browning or Winchester, just based on weight.
