Entry-level certainly suggests "starter" package. On the field of education and experience, might mean otherwise. As a young man, my Dad's 20 ga. single shot was my introduction to hunting, gun safety. A Brum boxlock 12 allowed me entry to a different way of thinking about gunwgt, handling, payloads. A used AyA #2 was a relatively inexpensive 3-D aid for examining the Brett's Peerage experience. An old Ithaca 37 Deerslayer is still my home security and FPF goto and the price was certainly entry-level for anything that will shoot. I "entered" the world of high-grade guns with a salt-suspect Diana Super and a couple of Ithaca 4Es Certainly "entry level" pricing by the standards of collectors. While engaged in target sports, I'm not surprised one fellow's Stoeger Condor has outlasted another's Beretta. Even the cheaply made ones are surprisingly capable of volume shooting without breakdown. If your money won't squeeze thru the back entrance, you can take it around front where the portals are wider. You seldom get twice the gun for twice the price. Uggie m30s and 221s were and maybe still are a true bargain.
