How does the Remington SPR453 Autoloader sound for an all around shot gun for a first shotgun ?

I am wanting to turkey and bird hunt and try out Skeet, Trap, and Sporting Clays, but since Ive never owned a shotgun, I am wanting to buy one gun that I can try everything with then decide what I may stick with.

Some info about the gun:

Supplied with four extended screw-in SPR choke tubes – improved cylinder, modified, full and super-full turkey

2 3/4" loads to heavy 3 1/2" magnums

Manually tunable gas system

4+1 shell capacity

Thanks,
J

I love mine. My wife gave it to me for Christmas last year and it's a LOT of gun for the money. My vote is yes, it's a great all-round gun.

Excellent gun. It has the marginal fit and finish of a Russian gun, but it is brutally reliable and well built. It is sort of like an AK, not pretty but works as advertised and then some

I just traded my MP153 (the Baikal brand). It was a good gun. Not great, but good. I found it to be a little heavy for walking fields in search of pheasants and much to heavy for grouse hunting in northern WI. It was a very nice goose/duck gun though. I paid $280 for it NIB. Like a poster above said, it was a lot of gun for the money.
