RE: buying first new shotgun any tips
well if you want a good all around gun go with a remington or mossberg or if you can find one for sale a winchester, but those are all pumps and semi autos, Personally i like singles so i would go with a H&R 12 or 20 guage with a normal shotgun barrle and then ship it in to H&R and get the slug barrle of your choice for about 100 so you have 250-280 in it instead of 350-400 for a pump or semi auto but what ever action you like is up to you not me, just my 2 cents.
