The first gun I'm planning to replace after a near complete liquidation of my previous collection is a general purpose utility pump action 12-gauge.
Two that have all of my desired features (sights, drilled and tapped, 18-20" barrel threaded for choke tubes) are the BPS Predator Hunter

and the Winchester SXP Extreme Marine Defender

The Winchester while cool looking and retailing for a few hundred less than the Browning is Turkish made which is of concern in that Turkish guns are of sporadic quality.
I'm willing to save up and extra $200-$300 for a gun if that extra money translates to greater reliability and durability.
