OverUnder question

[u/Jadoo_21]

Hey fellow gun owners,

I’m looking for my first shotgun and I’m leaning towards an over-under. I’ll be using it for clay bashing.

Since I’m left-handed, I’ve found that over-unders are a great start for me, rather than semi-autos.

I don’t hunt, so this will be purely for clay shooting, target practice at the range, and other activities.

I’d love to know your recommendations for my first over-under. Ideally, I’m looking to spend between $1,000 and $1,500, either used or new.

I went to my closest Ramakko’s and saw a used Browning Citori with a 30-inch barrel. It’s in pretty good condition and they’re selling it for around $1,500 CAD plus taxes.

What do you think? Is that a good price? Also, when can I find private ads so I can compare different options?

Since this is my first gun, I don’t want to go over budget. Maybe I’ll stick with semi-autos or a different gauge in the future, but I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Thanks!

I’m pretty sure you can get a decent used one on local gun post. Try Sudbury and North Bay. 800 bucks can get you a very decent one

I would love to know more.

I checked few local gun shops in sudbury > they don’t have any good o/u

But have’t tried North Bay yet

North Bay surprisingly has a good size firearm market. Check out gunpost. It’s literally the best place to buy up here. Ramakko sells many great guns, not very budget friendly tho. You can also check out the Canadian tires. Sometimes, they have sale on firearms too.
