If a pump get an 870..express for 275 tops. find a good used 1100 for that much or even better an 11-87 with screw chokes etc. If you could spend a bit more a good used 390 or 391 Beretta. I do not recommend an O/U in the field....except for very experienced(read older) hunters who do not worry about shooting every bird. I can use most any but I recommend an auto for most people..especially women. My uncle used a really nice O/U hunting and he was always worried about scratching it up...and he was always frustrated when he only had 2 shots on the large tolls of snow geese I used to get him into. Have a toll of a thousand birds and he could only shoot 2 times. I always wanted my 10 shot extension on my 1100 or 11-87
