Too many great guns for your planned activities. I have a Franchi Renaissance, a friend I shoot with uses a Traditions, another has a Citori. I've shot them all and like them all. None of us are interested in trading but I must admit I'm somewhat envious of the Traditions owner. His gun shoots and looks as good as mine and cost half as much. The fit and finish are very nice and at a great savings over my Franchi. Whatever you decide on I would recommend 12 guage.
