For a new, under $2k sxs, probably a Gold Label Ruger would do it. About half that will get you into a Turkish built CZ or DeHann. You might check into the new Turkish built Smith & Wesson which I saw for $2500 at a pricey range store and which may be right at $2k at a discount dealer. I was impressed by the S&W. But you can get a hell of a lot more for your money on the used gun market, if you're careful and educated. You can find brand new in the box 80's built Browning Side by Side (BSS) guns in 12g for 1200-1400 or in 20g for $2k. These guns are built like tanks, but beware, the 12g is a full 7 1/2 lbs (20g BSS runs 6 1/2 - 7 lbs).
