To close the loop on this one, wound up with Ruger Red Label. Had to both wait a bit, look harder than expected, and push budget up closer to $1500. Thanks for all the direction!
I started out with a Tenpoint. Soon after, my son wanted in on crossbow action, so I bought him a Barnett Recruit. It wasn’t the highest end Barnett by any means, came w decent scope. I’ve been shocked, it shoots just as good as my Tenpoint, for about half the price. They’re both 40ish yard...
Fwiw, I’m with most of you. If I wanted this gun for myself, the browning $ for $, would probably top my list. That said, this gun is for my father. He has his priorities and knows/accepts he has limited his options...
I may be looking for a unicorn, as I’ve struck out.
Before I give up, maybe someone an give me some direction if there a such thing as a USA made, over/under shotgun, 20g, with choke tubes? Also under $1000 (Kolars are sweet, but too much $$$)
New or used is totally fine...if something is...
