I would just get a 20 gauge O/U if you want reliability and ease of cleaning.  The O/U are typically set for rising birds a 80/20 pattern and they work great.  You don't have to worry about getting powder in your eye which semi-auto's can do from time to time.  Look at the Brownings, Berretta, or there are lesser ones along the Mossberg range.

20 g O/U or Auto is a great upland gun!  You don't really need anything else.  The Brownings and SKBs are nice and in your price range... a used Red Label is a pretty good value.  I've been handling some of the autos lately... thinking of getting 1 for my daughter.  Man, there are some really nice handling ones out there these days.  If I remember, Berreta has one that I really like for about 800-900, I think.

At the lower end of your price range are the mossbergs and some of the charles dalys.  Both are pretty god guns for the money.  Remington 1187s are also a great gun and the old lady wont kick you out for it either.

Benelli Montefeltro.  It's one of my favorite shotguns.  It's my favorite semi auto. 

I'm a big fan of Franchi O/U shotguns (Veloce, although it's out of production now) as well.

Both of these are within your 1200.00 budget limit.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield
