My comments were made about NEW guns under $1k.
For the money, if I had $1k and wanted and O/U I would go used definitely (as I did).
Best ones in that range would be Citoris, 686s, SKBs. Even if the wood is a little beat up it can be refinished, or a new stock purchased. Advantage of buying used is you can sell it for about the same and not lose money. As long as internals work, you are good.
