Find a skeet range with rentals and try them out -both gauge and action type. What works for me might not work for you. Or find a Tactical shotgun course with rentals. Try before you buy as a 12GA has a lot of recoil with heavy loads. You might like a 16 or 20 better and there is nothing wrong with that. I was all set on buying big game hunting rifle but decided against because the recoil was too much. My shotguns are Mossberg 500 and Stoeger Coachgun both in 12GA. I hope this helps.
