You're on the right track.

I'd advise to avoid the temptation to go cheap.

Trigger pull is a big part of a target gun, and either the Citori or 680 series lend themselves to a trigger job IF necessary.

Not everyone can work on a Cynergy. It's a good gun, but often has lousy triggers and it's a mechanical monstrosity like a Krieghoff.

There is a lot of junk coming out of Turkey, and a fair amount of junk out of Italy.

Citori or 68x are safe bets.
