My next gun is going to be a sort of all purpose shotgun. One that I can informally shoot trap with sometimes, hunt all manner of small game, waterfowl, and turkey should the opportunity arise, and throw a shorter barrel on for HD purposes if need be.
I'm going to stick with a pump since I've been hunting with one since I was 11 and I'm pretty sure I'd try to rack the nonexistent slide on a semi-auto at this point.
I'm interested in a step up from from guns like the 870 Express and the Mossberg 500. Not that there's anything wrong with the Express or 500 (I have a 20 ga 870 Express that has a lot of good memories attached) I'm just at a point in life where I'm willing to pay a little extra for fit and finish.
I grew up in a Remington household, so a Wingmaster is a definite option. The Browning pumps are a possibility, but I'm not typically a fan of back-bored guns. Are there any other options to consider on this quality/aesthetics tier? Ithaca makes nice looking guns, but I don't think I've ever seen one in a shop.
