Look at a remington 870 express. It is a single barrel pump action, but is a great starter and all around gun. It has screw in chokes for different patterns and you can buy different barrels if you want a slug barrel. This gun will take 2 3/4 and 3" magnum shells. It is easy to maintain and handle. Stay away from double barrels for your first gun, nothing wrong with them, but more limited and specialized. If you want a semi-auto the remington 11-87 is a good choice.

We looked at an 870 today, it was only 329$ and the guy was telling us how universal it is. We almost sprung on the spot right there but decided we would keep looking. Now that somebody outside a gun shop has said the same thing, we will prolly keep it on top of our list. It felt comfortable too. They only had the 12 ga in stock.

We also looked at a Citori (sp) for ****s n giggles and looked seriously at a stoeger side by side. All 12 ga. We wish we could afford the Citori.

remington 870 is the way to go. if you want to use 3 1/2" shells just get the super mag. i had mine (remington 870 super mag) for 10 years never had any troubles with it.

The citori is made by Browning. a great gun, but kinda like a BMW of guns, very expensive. Usually not a first gun, and not one you want to take out everyday and shoot. It's not a daily driver so to speak.

You will not be sorry with the 870.

I would definately get a 12 ga. first. It is way more versatile. you can shoot really lite loads all the way to hi-brass and magnums. Shells hold more shot so it is a bigger pattern and easier to hit the clays. Shells are cheap and easy to find.
