Another W&S option, though the condition might warrant some dicussion on the price:

Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

12 bore Model 21 Winchester is a pretty darn nice gun and in this depressed economy can be bought right. They are built very strong and no problem shooting real heavy loads in them. Also, I saw a guy win over $100,000.00 a few years ago shooting live birds with one. He absolutely loved his. They are a little heavy in 12b but really great guns overall IMHO. Plus, they are made in the USA and you could be proud to take a gun like that anywhere.

You need to go to big gun shows or a side by side event where you can look at lots of guns and talk to lots of people. You just missed the Fall Southern Side by Side where you can see more guns than you will ever need to see. Common side by sides in great condition in your price range are very reasonable today, compared to what they were selling for a few years ago.

I think you need to settle on a few things about the gun before you get too serious about tossing $3k down.

1) Vintage or modern? How "vintage"? (modern ammo capable? or special ammo?)

2) American, English, Spanish, Italian, German, Japanese, etc???

3) Action type?

1. Modern (Post 1910 or so)

2. American, English, Italian

3. Doesn't matter.

In other words, I'm open to a pretty nice, "honest" gun, not a looker but a shooter. I'm leaning toward a Parker or a L.C. Smith, just because they're numerous and not horribly expensive.

Gene,
While I like LC Smiths, they do have a chronic problem of splitting the stocks under the locks and revealing it at the rear of the lock. I'd lean Parker, Fox, Ithaca NID in the American guns. If it's for upland, you may want to look at some 16g Fox guns. They can be light guns. I don't think you give up anything with a 16 ga.

A Richards or a Greener in a non-ejector will be easiest to find
