Well, if you want to keep it in the Mossberg family, have a look at the 930 SPX. I bought one specifically for HD and love it. I was told it doesn't like light loads, so I bought ten or so different loads for it when I was vetting it, from light target to 00 buck. It ate and spat out everything with equal aplomb. It's also the softest shooting 12 gauge I've ever fired, making it fun to take to a range, and also nice to know if you keep it stoked with 00 buck, which I do, as #1 buck is near impossible to find around here. Just a thought. Mine needed a stock adjustment to make it mine.
