Kind of why I’ve got to be budget friendly this time.Well depends on "break the bank", Mr. Wilson Combat.
You can say that again....
Todd, you might also check out the Stoeger Condor O/U shotguns. They are made by E.R. Amartino in Brazil. Imported by Stoeger. I have a 12 ga. that I have had at least 16 or 17 years now. Pretty solid shotgun. For casual shooting, and hunting they are great shotguns for the price. Probably not the best choice if you plan on shooting competitively!

I wholeheartedly agree with Robert! CZ makes some very nice guns at decent prices. I've owned a couple of side-by-side CZs and have been very pleased with them.You might check out the CZ's. I think the O/U is the Drake. I've had a Ringneck SxS for a number of years and it's been rock solid. Another Turkish made gun.
No, it's not. Have you checked out the Ruger Red Label models? Not "cheap", but maybe a bit less than some of the high-end brands. I looked on Gunbroker and they were running $1400 - 2000. Not cheap, but not insane...This is not a cheap and deep segment. Three budget friendly brands so far, more digging to do.
Unner stood There are a lot of inexpensive O/U guns out here. But you want single selective trigger add mo $$; want screw in chokes, add mo $$ and the beat goes on. You want a 12 g. citori featherweight? Call me,Kind of why I’ve got to be budget friendly this time.
I have and there’s nothing wrong with them. I’d just like a season behind a O/U to decide if I really want to forego other stuff to get one with all the bells/whistles that take it from field to heirloom, which is kind of where I’m taking my collection at this point since there’s family interest in not just continuing tradition, but appreciating it...Have you checked out the Ruger Red Label models?
Mossberg Silver Reserve.
It's a great "sit and wait" gun.
Wouldn't be my first pick on a quail hunt though.
A bit on the heavy side, but that makes it swing so smooth and true.
Choke tubes included. Extractors instead of ejectors. Makes gathering your emptys easy. Which keeps landowners happy.
My 2 cents.
