remington model 870 20 gauge pump. Excellent quail gun. Short for ease of use and getting into brush.

Depends upon what you like to shoot, over-under, sidexside, pump or auto. Then pick the best gun your expenses will allow but make sure the gun fits you or you'll be missing alot.

What's your budget? What shotguns do you already have ?

I also have to agree, if you're on a budget, Rem 870 in 12 or 20 ga. Imp/Mod...You can also shoot rifled slugs.Later on you can purchase a rifled barrel to shoot sabots.

I would like to stick to a side by side, I already have a beretta side by side 470 20 gauge, and a Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon, as for the budget, that wont be an issue right now.

With the 20" barrel it worked like acharmed!........Of the ones I mentioned, the only one I don't have is the Beretta Silver Snipe.. The Win Mod.12 I received as a birthday gift from my father in 1951 for my 12th B-Day.
