I am thinking of getting into a more varied use of a shotgun, and am also planning on starting my son off with sme shotgunning. I am looking for an all around shotgun for these types of shooting: Bird Hunting, Sporting Clays, Trap and Skeet. I am not interested in any recommendations as to the gauge, that will either be 12 gauge or 20 gauge (almost definitely the 12 gauge).
What I would like to get some ideas on are the types of shotgun best suited to all those kinds of shooting.
I have a few limitations that any shotgun has to fall under, the primary being price. I am currently thinking of a new shotgun, either an o/u or semi-auto, at a price of under $750 if there actually is one at that price that fits the bill for the type of shooting we will want to do. I have looked at some of the prices of new guns from whom I consider to be reputable manufacturers and I think I may be dreaming for anything in that price range regarding an o/u or a semi-auto.
1) Would a semi-auto, an over&under, or pump be the best (no sxs, or single shots will be considered at this point).
2) If I do decide on either an o/u or a semi-auto instead of a pump gun, are there any that fall into my price range while being a good gun.
Thanks for any help on this one.
