I am new to the forum so hello to all.

The Remington 870 is a good shotgun for a first. Remember that a simi auto or a pump has a longer receiver than a SXS or OU. Shorter barrels work better for skeet and longer ones for trap. The 870 is easy to add barrels to plus they are simple to disassemble and clean. You can have the best to both worlds with a 26" choke tube for hunting and skeet and a 28" for trap and sporting clays.

Good Luck,

joe
