Beretta are great, but a new one will be half as much over $1k. The Red Label is another good one. They used to be under a grand new, but are likely just over now. CZ over unders are under $1k, but lack in quality compared to the other two.
Try the Indy 1500 for a good deal or consider a used but as new in the box if you choose the Beretta or Ruger and must stay under $1K. A used Citroi is an option, but it's an American company manufacturing in Japan if that doesn't bother you. Same with Winchester.

Kentucky Gun Company has a bunch of Red Labels in stock. No sales tax as you pay over the Net.

I have an old Browning 12ga O/U 26" barrel that I use for rabbit and will use it for pheasant this year. Have you totally decided on a 20ga?

I have a CZ (Huglu) Woodcock Deluxe in 20 ga O/U that my wife got me for Father's Day this summer. Used it for the remaining season for skeet and love it. I have approx 800 rounds through it so far with no issues at all. I improved my skeet scores after switching from my REM 1100 12ga from teens to low 20's, but I'm still seeking the perfect 25 round. I used it on a pheasant draw hunt this fall, the gun did it's job well, but I didn't do my part as well and missed on the one rooster we flushed after 3 hours of hunting without dogs. Love the fit of the gun and the looks, I have no issues with the quality or finish of mine. (2010 serial numbered - first two digits are year of manufacture) I'm actually thinking of picking one up in 12 ga also, see link below. CZ Woodcock Deluxe 103 FE |

Another option you might consider is the Mossberg Silver Reserve Combos or singles. Prices on the singles (12, 20, 28 or 410) can be had for under $700 new and a bit lower used. The combos, either 20 & 28 ga or 12 /20, can be found under $900-950 easily. Nice thing with the combo is that for a bit extra you can have a second barrel set to slip in when you want to use another gauge. They come with 5 chokes (Mossberg uses the Berretta Mobil choke system, so additional or different choke tubes are easily found).
btw....the cz canvasback is a fun O/U to shoot as well! Good luck and have fun.
