Looking for an old reliable double barrel Shotgun Model that fires current cartridges.  

Something on the cheap, that will hang on the gun rack of the truck this summer.

Basically something that is not obsolete, that there are plenty of out there.

How cheap? Stoegers can be had for under $500 new, and I think are solid enough for the money. CZ, like a Bobwhite, are much better quality and go for around $700-$800 new. If you can find a used CZ for $400-$500 I think that’s a great budget SxS. 
   For an older used model, I frequently see old Savage 311s locally for well under $500 and I think they are good solid old shotguns, just not pretty or fancy.

Cheap enough that if it gets stolen off the truck rack, I won't flinch.   Might be going to New Mexico to help out on a ranch for 2-3 weeks.    Open carry sidearms are discouraged.   I have a singleshot 20GA I bought for $50.   But, a double-barrel might be fun.

Ah I see. Yes a double is always fun and useful. But In that case I would pick up a used pump. Most every gun shop around here has a couple old well used pumps on the rack for less than $200 or even $150. A Mossberg or old Stevens.
