Hey guys, I appreciate responses. Jus moved to Tx and have gotten and interest in bird hunting. I went a few weeks ago with a borrowed winchester. Anyway this sparked an interest.

I was at Academy looking at a few 12gs: Benelli nova and the Remington 887 nitro mag. Wondering what people think about these two and if there are others I should look at. The sales guy said that the Remington had some problems but couldnt elaborate.

Also I think I would like to try my hand at sport shooting like clays or something. Is a pump the best all around option for entry level stuff. The videos I have seen show most with an auto or over under. Im not wanting to break the bank until I have some experience and know I like it. videos I have seen show most with an auto or over under.
