Do you want to compete or just have fun? The hammered doubles are fun but about the slowest. The Winchester 87 lever action is legal but in most hands it is the slowest. The Winchester 97 pump is also legal and with practice it's fast. The Winchester 93 is not legal even tho it's practically the same gun. The easiest to get used to is a hammerless double but it'll probably need some spring work and chamber polishing to make it acceptable.(automatic ejectors are not legal)
Have you ever been to a match? Do you know what all's involved? If not you should go to one and observe. I'm sure you'll be offered the chance to shoot a lot of different guns. That's the best thing to do before you shell out the bucks for guns you may not be happy with.
