if this is your first gun just get a mossberg 500. You say you don't like them and they are common, but you don't know anything about shot guns. Buy a cheap used moss for $200, shoot the fuck out of it, sell it for $200, then buy w/e u want. I have two mossbergs and a beretta. Nothing wrong with have a nice shotgun, i just rather use my cheap ones. (my slug gun has a 18" barrell pistol grip stock and 6 position stock, bought it for $125. My 26" clay mossberg is a special edition of some sort, nib condition for $200)
