    Second hand Miroku or a Baikil if you can find one with open chokes (1/4 and /12 or less)
    All those with dogs waiting no longer fear death. Those with many dogs waiting even welcome it in it's time.

    Reloaders has Baikal under/overs with interchangeable chokes for no more than $1000. They look plain but are very tough and function well.

    Twice your budget and twice mine, but it was such a bloody good deal that I went for it. My family will just have to starve for the next month

    I second the M70 but I have seen them cheaper recently.
    Great guns for the money.

    I didn't find anyone to beat that price in NZ, AU or UK, so that's why I went for it. Genuinely interested and to the OP, if you can get one cheaper, go for it!

    Just waiting for someone to return my call and I will have a price. Pretty sure he has one in the shop now as well.

    Yeah, it was quite a bit cheaper a month ago when he got it in. Now same price as above.
    I sometimes help out in the shop on weekends and remember a customer ordered it in but never bought it.
    Still a good gun for the money imo.

I'd buy a budget shotgun, but not a budget rifle. If the Miroku hadn't come along, I might have gone for it, but had some reservations.
