    There are a few (around a dozen?) 20g shotguns for sale at hilltop:

    I can't post links (new user), just google for hilltop shooting sports and navigate to the shop. Sadly you can't search or filter in the online shop, so you'll have to dig through them.

    There are 2 brownings in the online shop for 1600 and 1250. I actually saw a browning 20g over/under for just under 1k in the shop yesterday. It's either not up on the homepage or maybe the prices on the homepage aren't up to date. You could always give them a ring.

    good for almost anything, a lot of people use them for driven pheasant, grand and light to carry around after a dog.

    thanks to all those of you who replied, i have decided to get a new stock fitted to my gun.the reason i was changing
    was of a bad fitting gun, after trying a couple of guns i found them to be much the same, stocks too low for me.
    so new stock being made. thank you.

    Hi skipking. Would you mind telling me who is making the new stock for you and did you get custom fitted for it? Just don't see anyone advertising the service.
    Ta.

    went down pat sludds this morning, he got me to mount my gun several times while he watching down the barrel ,
    then checked stock lenght,and took some measurements. i also picked out a new butt pad. he will now start to make the stock, when it is near finished i will have to go down for a second fitting. after second fitting you can bring home your gun,
    when the stock is finished and oiled pat will send it up to you. as he is busy he cannot start mine for about a week.

    Thanks skipking. I gave him a call and he seems to be sound. Said there is no charge unless he has to make some adjustments. I will take a trip down to him soon.

    just back from pat sludds after having my second fitting. pat checked to make sure stock fitted before he finished it.
    he shaved the stock until he had it fitting right, now he will finish the stock sand it and oil it,will be finished at the
    weekend. i went for stipple finish on pistol grip and hand piece instead of checkering. looking forward to sunday morning.
