Big Uncle has given you excellent advice....and may I add the Remington 870 or the Winchester 1300 as great options.

They are fine at the trap line and fine at the hunting fields.

When you have at least $1,200 to spare you can look to over/unders....and the SKB 505 field is a very good one. Don't buy a cheap O?U.....famous last words!!!
