Hello, I'm sure you've all answered this question before but do guys have any reccomendations for a decent Under/Over 12 guage Shotgun in the US $800-$1300 (~ AU $1200-$2000) range. Over here in Australia we can't buy Pump or Semi-Auto's without a special license that is difficult to get so we have to look at the side-by-sides and Under/Overs which (unfortunately) cost a lot more. Any opinions on the Lanbers and Franchis? These seem to be quite reasonably priced without being obviously cheap like the Boitos. Any help would be much appreciated.

BTW. I would be looking to use it for pretty much everything: Rabbits, Pigs, Trap shooting, Home defence etc...

My personal choice would be to go with a Browning Citori White Lightning. Since you will be shooting trap with it I would further recommend going with the 30" barrels, too.

i own a lamber 2097 sporter with 30" barrels its not too bad at all for the money have shot off against berretta`s and brownings and won save your money and go spanish son imho italian shotguns are all overpriced and over rated .....
i paid 1250 aud for it and compared to the others i tried it was the best value and most sensible purchase to my needs.
