I spent some time looking at a line of shotguns today that I had not
seen before, and I was blown away ( :} by the relatively high level of
handwork, fit, and finish for a quite modest price. These pieces were
selling for $700 to $1000, and they were the match of anything new
selling for twice the price.

Outdoor Life tested one, and while there is always a modicum of hype in
this stuff, I found the report interesting:

"CZ O/U Redhead
Issue: Summer 2005
Price: $795

Editor's Comments
I love this gun” and “great value” were among the comments written about
this fast-pointing, slick-operating O/U that not only earned our Great
Buy award but came very close to winning the Editor’s Choice award over
a gun costing more than four times as much! The CZ Redhead, which sells
for $795, opened as smooth as oiled silk, and the stock seemed to fit
everyone so well that 25 for 25 at skeet was common, even on the first
round. Ejection of spent cases was crisp and positive. The only
criticism mentioned was the too-heavy trigger pull."

That 7 pounds of trigger pull is a disqualifier, and 20 gauge is not the
way to go. You can find a proper gun for your $800. Using that gun is
like trying to tow your Parker some distance...an exercise in futility.
