This is usually how it starts....First wave is the Remington fans, next usually crawl in a couple mossbergh (SP?) guys, then the Binelli fans start in with their say, finally you end up with an odd assortment of other brand guns, browning, winchester, etc.... The fact of the matter is they are all good guns. Just remember you get what you pay for and if it don't fit....it ain't worth s***. I would go look at and hold a couple of guns and find some you really like. Then come back and tell us which ones you liked and we can tell you stories (good or bad) about almost anything. But the best way is to look first. Find out what your price range is. Hold a few. Then narrow it down on 2-4 that you really like. Then we can really help with the choice. It is all your preference that matters.
