I would suggest, respectfully, that you need to stay away from a gunbroker or internet site on a first shotgun. There are enough problems out there - where guns aren't in the condition represented, a few con artists where you may never actually get the gun you bought, etc that you should really be careful unless you know the specific dealer on this transaction. Even in the best of circumstances - you can't see the condition of the barrel, inside the receiver, etc on this gun.

Seriously - there are a number of economic options for shotguns on the market today -especially in pump guns - Remington 870's, Browning BPS, Mossberg, Benelli, etc - and you can find a lot of good shotguns ( with screw in chokes ) thru local gun dealers, gun shows, or even some pawn shops or used gun dealers in your area. Maybe get a buddy to accompany you - and help you with the process of looking over some good guns and your options.

A good pump gun with a 28" barrel and screw in chokes will be a good all around gun to start with - for under $ 500 easily - and you'll be able to shoot some skeet, birds, etc - work on gun fit issues and have some fun. Many new guns these days come standard with 3 screw in chokes - Full, Modified and Improved Cyclinder.
