I wanted to say that but bit my tongue. Best O/U, probably Krieghoff, but that is debatable.Best and O/U and Under $1000 do NOT go together.

Realistically you need to double your budget to hit the bottom of reasonable O/U.
Look at semis or pumps. You will be fine with either.
Well Saturday night walking around Walmart I went to the sporting section and saw a Tristar 12 ga 3" 28" chrome lined over under shotgun there for $357. I said to myself it's only $357 so I bought it think if it was junk atleast it wasn't $1000 junk as from what I've seen u need to spent 3k+To get something "good". Sunday I took it to shoot trap. I shot two rounds of trap hitting 48/50. Mind you I never even patterned it basically took it out of the box the night before. So my question is why do u need to spent over 1k to get a "bottom end" over under as what I've been told. I guess if I spent a lot more for a gun I might have gotten those 2birds I missed. O and one more thing my brother was there with his Weatherby over under which I'm sure cost a boat load more than my tristar and he was having troubles getting the second barrel to shoot off. It's been returned for repair for that same reason before. Something to do with the inertia setting the hammer. So he shot my tristar there also. Haha. Just wanted to put that out there. I can't really see a $ 3k plus gun doing a lot better then my $357 gun and if I scratch it I won't cry.

Don't overlook the CZ line. I think you could find a Redhead or Upland that is in your budget.
