remington model 870 20 gauge pump. Excellent quail gun. Short for ease of use and getting into brush.

Depends upon what you like to shoot, over-under, sidexside, pump or auto. Then pick the best gun your expenses will allow but make sure the gun fits you or you'll be missing alot.

I also have to agree, if you're on a budget, Rem 870 in 12 or 20 ga. Imp/Mod...You can also shoot rifled slugs.Later on you can purchase a rifled barrel to shoot sabots.

I would like to stick to a side by side, I already have a beretta side by side 470 20 gauge, and a Beretta 686 Silver Pigeon, as for the budget, that wont be an issue right now.

With the 20" barrel it worked like acharmed!........Of the ones I mentioned, the only one I don't have is the Beretta Silver Snipe.. The Win Mod.12 I received as a birthday gift from my father in 1951 for my 12th B-Day.
