I've got both a Super X-1 Trap and a Supreme Sporting Select O/U, both of which are great guns and fantastic guns for the money. Some say the Super X-1 may be the best semi-auto shotgun ever made (see here for instance). The Supreme is certainly the best O/U available for the money, or so I found after about 3 months of searching last year.

I find the whole "ownership of the name" thing interesting, though. With all the corporate mergers and buyouts over the years, I find myself owning a gun (the Supreme) with the Winchester name on it, which was designed by Browning (based on a Beretta design), but actually made by FN in Belgium. Since Winchester, Browning and FN are all owned by the same company, this makes sense, in an inside-out sort of way... ("Browning" doesn't want to admit that any aspect of Beretta's design is worth copying, so they put their dual-lug locking mechanism on a gun with the "Winchester" label.)
