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.

If you start with a less expensive one, you won't know what your missing out on.  :chuckle:  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...

 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.
