bb: Don't know what your collection entails, or what your budget will allow, but OWD's suggestion of a Lefever is also my personal choice ... I've always felt they were the closest relative to their Brit counterparts. Lowell's suggestion of a Parker is, however, the obvious choice, as they are probably the most famous of all the American doubles (also, IMHO, the most overpriced). Now, you didn't really specify a configuration (you said "a nice American made gun"), so if anything goes, a strong argument could be made that the Winchester Model 12 pump is the epitome of the American scattergun, and I can attest that a 16-bore is a joy to carry and handle.
