Hello all. I know the ammo thing is kind of a dead horse beaten, warmed over, and beaten again, so let's just say I want a 20 gauge. That ammo is everywhere. I'm looking at the options out there, and I'm a little confused. I have a '70-something era 870 that I love in 12 gauge. However, I hear that Remington QC is down the tubes and the 870s are having extraction problems with their bargain models. I'm not sure I want to shell out for another Wingmaster. I have an H&R single shot as well, which is an option, but it's a little rough. It works, though. What are your recommendations for a new 20 out there that won't break the bank. I'm thinking a $400 limit would be about it. Used is good as well.

Thanks,

Ben
