Go buy a Remington 870 for $229 to $249. They are awesome guns, if you like pumps. Some guys might tell you a lot of bad about 870's, but there is a reason they are the #1 selling pump gun. They're like a Timex, take a lickin and keep in tickin. I took a spill last winter in the river and completely submerged mine, i just took it back to the house, dumped the water out of it and dried it off, and kept pouring it to em.

Seriously, go for the 870 Mag. Dang good scattergun. Don't take my word for it, do the research. Theres a reason you'll find them from Iraq to almost every SWAT team in the US as well as a minion of hunters. 8.9 Million sold last I read.

Second to last day this season for wisconsin was a snowy and cold one. i took a spill in the marsh that i hunt and sumerged my 870, but i couldnt go home since this was my last time hunting of the season. so i dumped the water out and kept hunting and ended up getting a goose after that. not a speck of rust on that baby to this day 870 is the gun to get no dount

i have also shot the benelli nova, and the mossberg 500 and 835, they are all great guns. i believe it is mossberg that makes the maverick also, and i think you can get that gun for $159 to $189 dollars. I have never shot one so i dont know what they are like, but any of the other guns are good guns for less than $300.

RE: Shotgun Needed
You cant really go wrong with a pump gun, you need to find the gun that fits you best. No matter what gun you shoot if you dunk it, it will shoot, under cold conditions a pump is better. But when deep 6ed they will all fail.
