RE: Shotgun
i would suggest the rem 870 in 20 gauge. exellent all around guncan be used for skeet or trap in 2 3/4'' or bird hunting in 3''. only costs about
250$ i would suggest getting the combo w/ both barrel which is a little more expensive but well worth it

New England Firearms (H&R) 12GA Pardner Pump,copied the 870 design and sells it for less, I own both and actually prefer the NEF Pardner, it just handles much better to me and was $189.00 at Sportsman's Warehouse. here is a pic and the web site link:

RE: Shotgun
Nothing wrong with a 870 but for nearly the same money you can get a Bennelli Nova (comes with integrated sling swivels, 3 chokes, cool ejector button that only unloads the chambered shell, will shoot 2 3/4 up to 3 1/2", fiber optic sight, you can disassemble the whole gun without any tools , and they shoot awesome) !!
I ended up getting a SBE Bennelli and it's lighter and an automatic...........but it does not shoot any better than my Nova did !!
Myhunting buddyhas a 870 and a Nova and he always hunts with the Nova !! Worth a look anyway !!

Franchi I-12, Just shot mine for the first time this weekend, and it was a jaw dropping experiance. I have used a pump all my life, and let me tell you, this thing is very fun to shoot, and it only had one misfeed out of the 100 shots, and i was shooting 1 1/8 oz 2 3/4's target loads and my 200 shot break in period isn't even over.
It feels solid and not cheap, and because of the inertia system over the gas, it is perfect for waterfowl and better for dirty situations.
Also, i can disassemble every part of the gun (other than taking apart the entire trigger system) in less than a minute..
Plus, its only 600 bucks

RE: Shotgun
Get a shotgun that loads from the bottom. With a 3 shot plug in the magazine you can still shoot 6 rounds in seconds. On your forearm hand, place 3 shells between your fingers and as you shoot,shove one in.
