After Weatherby switched from SKB to an Italian maker for their shotguns I thought SKB went out of business? When you say Weatherby brought them back is it a new SKB production or by some other maker?

For under $1,000 I would be patient and look for a clean Winchester 101 made in Japan ( Kondensa Ltd.) That's if your looking for a field gun??
Most 28 inch guns will be choked modified and full, you can have the shotgun re-choked Skeet I and Skeet II or improved cylinder and light modified ( same as Skeet II) and go hunt.
Re-choking is about $50.00 per barrel.
Doc
The original Win 101 is the best O&U you can buy

Passport, that is a good deal on a nice Browning. I would be interested if I hadn't just managed a good deal on a nice Browning Gti for well under 1K: http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=507417216There are good deals to be found on nice used O/U's if a person is patient.

One thing I'll say with the Turkish made guns is they do a good job on their stocks. Presentation grade feathered walnut no, but the stock pictured above looks nice and is much nicer looking than I see on some rifles and shotguns costing 2x as much.

Depending on what your use is, used Citori or beretta 686. Citori if you mostly shoot targets or duck and dove from a blind or hide. Bank vault strong but a little heavy for upland bird hunting on your feet. The Berettas are a bit lighter.
Bothe these guns will have selective triggers and ejectors. Some of the less expensive European imports will lack one or both of these features.
Out of the price range, unless you find a steal, but I shoot a 52 year old Browning Superposed Pigeon Grade 20 ga that I picked up in a pawn shop thirty years ago. It has had only one small pin in the selective trigger mechanism replaced as it's only repair. The twenties in this series are light.
Best wishes,
Jack
