Best options under $1500

What action would you consider the most durable modern O/U action? Let's say we limit it to models produced in just this century and keep the original MSRP below 20K.

Krieghoff, Beretta, Perazzi, Browning, Benelli, Blaser...something else?

K80, Kolar, Perazzi, and Blaser would all be contenders for most durable. Of course, at a horrible cost of weight. They are overbuilt, extra have clay guns and are the antithesis of a lively wingshooting gun.

Both Beretta and Browning have made hybrids that can be used for both purposes, but less durability.

Better yet, a Purdey, Dickson, Woodward, or Boss would be the ultimate in lightweight game guns. Naturally, their useful lifespan is 1/20th the amount of shots before they are rubble.

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
