Another vote for the Moss 500. For around half what you would spend on the Benelli, you will have a fine operating shotgun and, a rifled barrel with a cantilever mount for a scope, and a fairly decent scope to boot. Not to mention, a pump shotgun will make you a better wing shooter. Makes you concentrate on the shot a bit better because you know you won't have as quick of a follow up shot. Or so I've been told that anyway. I know my sister has an 870 in 20 gauge and is pretty good picking off Quail and Dove. None of us are much into duck or goose hunting. The meat is okay and some really like it but none in our pack really cares much for either.
