Since I already own a number of pistols and two rifles, I feel it's time to add a shotgun to the list. Just wanted to throw out some questions and see if anyone had some tips that might speed up the selection process. I'd mostly be using it for non-competition clay shooting and home defense. I think the biggest concern for me is I have shorter arms than the average guy and from a few of the traditionally designed pump-actions it's uncomfortable trying to work the action. I think this applies to most of the Mossberg's I've handled. Anyone else have this problem and know of some that have the action a bit closer to the trigger?
I'm sort of interested in the new Remington M887 Tactical (Remington M887 Tactical Review | GunBlog.com - Your source for all things Guns) as well, and it seems to have a lot of the bells and whistles I'd like to have. The action also looks like it might be more comfortable. Any experience with this new shotgun? And finally I guess are there just some companies or models to stay away from and other pitfalls? Like I guess it'd be best to stay away from turkey guns or expensive competition model shotguns or ones that are only expensive because you're buying the name along the side. Thanks for the help!
