I completely agree.....Keep watching the INGO classifiers. There usually seems to be good used shotguns for good prices. In fact I think there was a Winchester Twelve Hundred for under Two HundredIf I were you, I'd make enough of an investment to get a quality pump shotgun. Mossberg 500, Remington 870, something like that. You could shoot for a middle-of-the-road kinda setup, or change things up if your interests change some.
