RE: what gun should i get
Mossberg and Mavrick shotguns(the lower end) are ok,they get job done,but I think you get a better gun in the 1300's and 870,s for a little more money.I have only shot a few Mossbergs and I was not comfortable with the feel of them.
If you buy a shotgun it is best done in person so you can pick it up and swing it,or mount with your eyes closed so you get the feel of it.
