Well if as in my younger years when I had a young family I couldn't justify spending the 3 or 4 thousand dollars I now have wrapped up in three different guns. The one gun I was able to afford was a 1100. That old gun shot ducks, geese, quail, pheasants, doves and any other thing I could at the time. It was even seen on the trap and skeet fields a few times before it moved on to the big gunsmith in the sky.
As I've grown out of two sons and I no longer have college/support I now have a nice Browning XS that does my trap and skeet, a Bennelli that does just fine on ducks and geese and if my legs would still allow a really neat berretta 20ga for upland stuff. Whoops, I forgot the Black powder cannon for deer.
If, I was still in the position that I had to choose 1 shotgun for all my needs, I like the Bennelli or Browning or Berretta Xtreme. Which ever one would fit my me and my pocket book the best.
Not everyone can handle 3 or 4 different guns when they start out, what I suggest is buy the best you can afford. Good quality shotguns don't loose value as bad as some of my stocks..
P.S. In a normal duck season I'll use over a flat of steel shot. Hevi-shot is out of my price range, except for those dedicated goose days.
