I checked on a H&R on buds guns site & the only one I actually liked was outta stock, not much of a H&R fan.
Thanks for the input tho.
The Browning BT-99 that Omaha posted about is very nice but that's more of a trap gun than a hunting gun.
The Baikal's I've handled have been junk, I'd much prefer an H&R over those. H&R's can be easily customized to your liking when it comes to stocks, etc. Other than those it depends on your budget. T/C makes 12 and 20 gauge barrels for their Encores. The CZ's I've seen have been nice but they discontinued those so you'd have to find a used one.
Are you opposed to used? There are way more options, it would take some looking around but there are plenty of options out there such as Iver Johnson, Savage, Stevens, Ithaca, etc. Winchester made a nice single shot called the model 37.
