After much thought, I've decided that my next gun purchase will be a higher-ish-end shotgun. I'll be saving up for it for a while, and I'm willing to spend somewhere in the neighborhood of $1400, though I'd spend more for a sweet deal. Something either new of in absolutely perfect condition. I'm looking for 12ga, though I'd consider a 20. I've got my 870 for... well... everything. This will be largely a safe queen, with the occasional clay shoot or maybe even a hunting trip if I'm feeling cocky.
My trouble is, I have no idea where to start! Yes, I can look around at all the shotties about $1400, but I'd like some slightly more... human input. For the experts out there, what would you spend for $1400 or so on?
I also want to add... keep in mind that this isn't supposed to be an entirely functional piece of equipment. I want a beautiful shotgun, something worthy of being a safe queen, and something that I'll be proud to pass on to my children and grandchildren. Don't get me wrong, I'll be proud to pass on my 870, but I think you get the idea here.
edit: I'd really like something a bit unique as well. Like I said, it'll be a safe queen and an occasional bragging right. The more unlikely I am to run into another one, the better.
