Worse comes to worst, you could always grab yourself a good ol' 311 20 gauge for this season and get by with it until you've made up your mind or saved up some bucks.

No joke ... as a kid, I took quite a few birds, squirrels and rabbits with a 311 20 gauge. Of course, that's before I know what a doublegun should feel like. I didn't know I was hunting with a big ol' club, I was just happy to have it.

Get on gunbroker and find an old Marlin model 90 OU in 16 or 20ga. $600 will buy a nice one
Get Mike Orlene to open the chokes to IC/LM or install choke tubes $35/barrel
Problem solved.

I like the older Ugartechea SXS's also

Ithaca SKB OU will be in that price range. I've been eyeballing this one:

The older Savage 330 built by Valmet is also a solid field gun and will be in that price range.
