That rem 11-87 looms great. In my price range too. Will have to go hood one see how it feels.

Benelli nova. I have had mine for 8 years and it is a great shooter. Action is smoother than most shotguns I have used. Shoots 2 3/4 - 3.5 shells flawlessly.  Taken many critters with mine hope to take a coyote this weekend.

I've got a Browning BPS 12 gauge in shadow grass camo I'll sell ya
Multiple chokes, duratouch rubber overmolding, 3.5" chamber.  Don't waterfowl hunt so she just sits in the safe.

If you start with a less expensive one, you won't know what your missing out on.    It will save you lots of money down the road.

so guns are pretty much guns here.. everyone will have a recommendation on what and why... I would take 2 very specific qualities into the process:

1) synthetic stock, you will be wet and I have had swelling in wood stocks in the environment you will mostly be in, butt in mud or a puddle leaning for hours is the devil! (but your call)

2) salt water/ rust resistant components... modern stuff has a dip coating on exteriors that mostly is camo, this helps greatly with the durability in a saltwater environment. Bluing takes a beating in salt~!. Your internal components need constant attention, if you go semi, don't forget the spring inside the buttstock. easy access for disassembly and cleaning. My SBE2 takes a shower with me every return trip from a duck day, then over a register, dry and oil.. never an ounce of troubles...

Great advice.

 Lots of good advice here. Here is mine. when you go look for a shotgun, make sure you have on your hunting coat. If you ware a light shirt the gun will not mount the same. Also on the 3.5" get one. It is like a 4 wheel drive, most of the year you don't need it, but when you do it is nice to have. Also I would get a pump. Less than a auto. This way you have more for decoys, ect. Also what happens if you don't like duck hunting, could happen. Then you are out only $400-$500.

Benelli SuperNova hands down. You can beat the heck out of it and it will still perform.

Got my Remington 887 for $225 new the other day. I know people complain about these guns, but for that price I couldn't resist. We will see how it goes.
