a Stevens model 311 shotgun
Now that's a pretty much bomb proof shotgun. Good choice. Price was about right too.
A new SXS - the Stoeger is serviceable. Look used and you'll find a variety of good SXSs. Be careful about what you buy, though.......SXSs seem to acquire dings on their barrels more than other guns. Lock up should be tight. The barrels, off the gun, should ring like a chime when tapped. Check the wrist of the stock for cracks should you find an old gun that you like. There are some 100 year old guns out there that are still fine shooters.
Nothing points like a SXS.
