Here is what I am looking for:
Light weight 20 Gauge (preferably 26" barrel(s) weighing between 6-6.5 lbs). Would like an O/U but not set on it. This is going to be my grouse gun so it will not stay pretty for long (I can be hell on guns when hunting). Looking to spend around $800.
I have looked at the following: Stoeger Condours, Stevens Gold Wing, CZ upland Ultra light, Mossburg Silver Reserve, and ATI Calvary. I also looked at the Franchi Instinct (a little more than I want to spend), but that is a sweet gun. I know i know, I'll prob end up with the Franchi...
Right now I have been pretty intrigued with this ATI Calvary. Does anyone know anything about these? My local shop has one that feels and looks great for a great price. They said they cannot hardly keep them in stock because they are a good deal for the $ (I think it was around $550 brand new).
I'm not worried about recoil. I am young enough for that not to bother me too much, and unless things really change around here, we don't do much shooting in a day here in VA. And I will always have my 870 for dove season/shooting clays...
And yes I did some searches on here, but didn't find much up to date info. I would like to turn some of you gun collecters/gun nuts loose once again!
