So I've shot a variety of borrowed or rented shotguns over the past 5 years at the range (going 4-6x a year, so not really often). What I know is:
1. I don't want a pump. I can give up all hope of a second shot with a pump
2. I've done better at all 3 games with o/u than anything else
3. I like the simplicity (from a maintenance perspective) and aesthetics of an o/u, but that's not a major concern
4. I want versatility
Having read this thread and spoken with a variety of salesmen, I think the right option is a semi. I got shown a beretta 3901 that seemed pretty good and was under my budget, a used super black eagle, a 391 urika, and a used citori.
Can anyone comment on the 3901? I'm leaning that way (it seems to be the most rational option) but I still kind of want the used citori.

Norinco Winchester 1897 trench gun copies are apparently still able to be slamfired.Originally Posted by CrackBaby
I have my great-grandfather's Winchester Model 1897. It is a very early one. He used to take it out into the desert with him in a buckboard when he went prospecting. It is still a serviceable shotgun.

I have a 3901 that was given free to me with another shotgun I bought. I think it is a 26" bbl but thats about the sighting plane of a 28 to 30" O/U. It's a great gun that I gave to a friend who has used it for over 3 years with no issues. It has multiple chokes, comes in decent black finish that resists corrosion and has a synthetic stock. It's a excellent workhorse beretta that should last you a few decades.
Its been a while since I handled the gun as my friend seems to like it too much!!!
Regards.
