Hey guys, yea I know this sounds stupid but I'm looking to build a little brother for my winchester 1200. Going to use it for plinking mostly and maybe some small game.

I want it to feel as close to my 1200 as possible which is setup as follows

12ga
+5 mag extension
polychoke
Pistol grip collapsable stock.
26" vent rib with front and rear bead

I really wish they made 1200's in .410 but alas nothing I've ever seen leads me to believe anything less then 20ga was produced.

What I'm looking for is what in your opinion would be the best base platform. I've never shot an 870 but hear a lot of good things.. I have shot a few 500's and didn't at all like the way the action felt.

Trying to do this a cheaply as possible so if there's any cheapo brands out there with the availability of these kinds of accessories I would love to hear about them.

My only must haves are,
26-28" barrel
dual bead sights.
fixed full choke or a barrel that will accept screw ins.
Ability to add collapsable stock/PG
.410
NOT a tang saftey

Would like to haves are,
Ability to extend mag full legnth of the barrel
smoothest action possible
3" chamber
interchangeable barrels.
