I can recommend the Selmer 104 which is based on a Loree design (don't know which model) which is a good instrument for outdoor use. They're pretty utilitarian but well built all the same.
I've got a modified one as my back-up oboe which I'm currently using while my main one is in bits awaiting several keys to be refitted.
It cost me £450 off eBay though you may find one for less, but I did give it a complete rebuild as well as rebored it and made several keywork modifications to make it as near the same spec as my dual system S5 as possible (although I won't be fitting a LH C# key to it).
The UK spec Yamaha 211 oboes are dual system, have a range to low Bb and some also have a forked F vent as standard (not sure about the most recent ones), so removing the thumbplate will revert them to basic conservatoire system.
