For starters I would consider a Remington 1100. It makes it easy for singles or doubles. It works fine for skeet or sporting clays.

As you get more familar and get more serious, you can then decide which shotgun is more appropriate and step up to it. Then you have a fine hunting gun.

I shot trap for about 2 years with a field 870 Wingmaster. After competing in doubles, I knew how to run a pump gun. If you are interested in pump guns, the 870 would not be a bad choice. Personally, for a starter gun, I would not get a trap version of the 870.

After that I bought over and under in trap and sporting clays versions.
