I am not a fan of cheap over/unders, but Stoeger and Yildiz both make over/unders that sell for less than $500.
What do you want it for?
Try cheaperthandirt.com
I want it for squirrel, rabbit and dove
Any particular reason you want the over/under rather than, say, a pump?
I already have a pump, but I want an over under, ecspecially for dove.
I want a Corvette as well, but can't afford one. Buy a Ford and be happy. Buying a cheap O/U that is cheaper made with a lower grade steel is not a good investment.
I watch the classifieds religously in hopes of finding a decent o/u at an affordable price but whenever i do find one it's already sold. I'll keep watching.
I agree with Sayfu 100 percent.
I would love a Browning O/U as well. Shot some with my buddies on my wedding day. But, will I ever have the discretionary cash to get one? Who knows. For now it's the 11-87 for me.
Check out the forums over at shotgunworld.com where you'll find a whole lot of info and opinions on those less expensive O/Us.
My brother loaned me his el-cheapo Spanish-made O/U a few years ago when I was working in Montana and my guns were still in Canada. That gun was a piece of crap. And, frankly, I would never own a double-trigger shotgun. Hated it. I'm sure you would too. You need to try out your ideas before making up your mind that's what you've got to have. Applies to more than just acquiring guns.

Thanks guys, I could probaly get a good semi-auto for a better price then a cheap over under. Besides I don't really need one anyway.
Visit every pawn shop you drive by!
Each day they usually have something different, but don't settle for the asking price ... it's just the starting point!
Look for a Remingtion Model 310 O/U USED you cant go worng with a Rem. Mod 310 $360.00 +/-.
When I was a very young boy, I wanted a new shotgun. I did not own a shotgun but wanted to go hunting with something besides a pellet gun.
There was a Stevens m/67 20 ga pump that could be had at the local gunshop for the price of $47.50. There was also an Ithaca m/37 that could be had for $109. I had no father, as he had died when I was very young, but the gunsmith directed me to read everything I could find about the two guns and come back and report to him which was the better buy. I did so and he Ithaca was certainly the higher quality shotgun, albeit much more expensive.
I was 11 at the time and cutting neighbor's grass to fund the project ($5.00 was a big paycheck for cutting a yard) but I worked until I had the money to buy the gun.
That was 45 years ago. The gun now sits leaning in a corner in my study from which I conduct my business because it is a constant reminder that hard work and determination can make anything possible.
Another moral to this dissertation is that if you buy quality things, they will last a lifetime and junk breaks or wears out before you do.
Work hard and save your money to buy something quality, it will mean a lot to you 40 or 50 years from now.
