Mossberg 590A1 with the regular sythetic stock and a 18.5" barrel is my choice. Don't need the tacticool BS like rifle/ghost ring sights or to coat the thing in rails. It's a good bit heavier than a 500 so even with 2 3/4 buck it's pretty soft shooting, I've let several petite women shoot it and none have had a problem handling it.
