Hi All,

I am "The New Guy" here, looks like a great place to be.

Looking to buy a shotgun probably around Father's Day and do have a few questions.

Purpose of this gun will be shooting some skeet with my nephew and possibly for HD. I have no plans at this time for hunting.

I probably going to go for a 12 gauge pump action, the Rem 870 seems to be a popular choice around here, will not exclude other brands/models, though.

Pricerange about $400.

Any recommendations or thoughts? Barrel length, finish, stock?

One more thing, I did notice that wally world does have some of the popular brands/model, are there any differences to the ones bought at other stores?

Thanks,

Hans
