#4 on this list
110 Ultralite
Savage
Carbon-wrapped barrel and a user-adjustable trigger and length of pull. Six pounds means it is still on your shoulder on day five, and the accuracy penalty for that weight is close to zero.

#5 on this list
686 Silver Pigeon I
Beretta
The over/under that has outlasted trends. A low-profile action, honest walnut, and a lockup that shoots hundreds of thousands of rounds. Handles upland birds, clays and a box of buckshot with the same manners.
