That's it right there... The Remington 870 12GA with the 3" chamber. There is a "law" where everyone has to own one!
You can beat the crap out of an 870, drop it in the dirt, drag it through the mud, and it will still fire and still work fine. Heck, I know an old guy who I've been goose hunting with a few times, and he still has this ancient, 1956 Remington 870, that is all beat up, rust pits here and there, the stock is all dinged and scratched, and let me tell you... That ol' Rem 870 can still drop the geese right out of the air!
