Same question, slightly different specs.
I only own handguns and a couple rifles. I don't know anything about shotguns and would like to get one, or maybe two. There is a possibility I would shoot trap/skeet as that would the primary "fun" way of using the shotgun, but home defense is also a possibility.
I only just today looked at the price of good O/U & SxS shotguns. Holy crap! So I guess I am looking at a pump. I know that the Rem 870 and Mossberg 500 are the two most popular shotguns mentioned, but if I wanted something a step up from those, what would be the next best (better) choice?
I also understand from reading that you can get a shotgun that can change barrels. I suppose between the purpose of HD and sport, that would be a nice feature too.
Second question - considering I want a pump and not a semi, which of the three sporting events (trap, skeet, clay) would I have the best chance at doing? I don't expect to win anything, nor do I want to.
