Do some research before buying. Last fall, Son and I were in a gun shop and I picked up a nice looking 20 ga semi-auto. It 'felt good' but I don't really need another shot gun so I put it back in the rack. Son handed me another that generally looked and felt the same. Yup same gun just different furniture and name on the side--$150 cheaper.
Since several of the gun makers have been gobbled up by big conglomerates, they're selling the same basic design with slightly different features under other brand names at very different prices.
