Thanks for the advice.
As far as budget, I don't have a particular figure, but I don't want to spend a ton. I am interested in getting a pump and was thinking that a Remington 870 or a Winchester 1300 would be in my price range, and they seem to have a lot of options within those two lines. Do you know if one or both of these have screw-in choke tubes?
I don't think that recoil is a big issue for me. I am 6"1" and about 190. I have on various occasions shot different guns including 30-06 and black powder during my years in the boy scouts and recoil was not a problem.
Also, any deer hunting that I do will most likely involve shooting at deer within 40-50 yards or less.
The main thing for me is to get a gun that will allow me to do a variety of shooting to get started. If I get serious about a particular kind of shooting, then I would probably get a second gun or a second barrel that was better for that.
I realize that I need to get out to a good gun store and talk to the folks there, but I like to have a good base of information before I start dealing with sales folks.
Thanks again.
