I am brand new to firearms in general, but am looking to purchase a shotgun. I have recently fell in love with skeet shooting and am looking to really get into it. I only plan to shoot skeet or clays with it, maybe eventually ducks or pheasant. My price range maxes out at around $600. I would prefer an o/u, but I know that $600 really limits my choices. I have been looking at Spartan o/u's and the Mossberg Silver Reserve. Looks of the guns is not an issue, I really just want reliability for now. If I end up going with pump as my first gun I was looking at Mossberg 500's or Remington 870's. If I went auto maybe an 1100. Any suggestions or info on these guns or other suggestions would be apriciated. Also suggestions on "intro to shotgun" books or websites would be great.
Thanks in advance,
Jimmy, a future shotgunner
