If you shoot many shells that gun will kick your ass. Go with an 870 and you will be fine. I like carrying a 26" barrel for doves.
x 2 on the ass kicking! I say save your money and buy a good simi auto. A pump is a good ole reliable, more eccanomic choice but they tend to kick hell out of you also. Ima Browning fan myself but the reviews are really good on Benelli and Beretta simis also.
