I like my Remington 870 Express pump. Doesn't cost alot-interchangeable choke tubes. Real dependable. Since it's not a hi-fi gun, you can carry it through the thick & nasty stuff, & it don't matter if it gets scratched & beat up.
Mine is a youth model, so it's smaller & lightweight. Another one might be a New Englands Firearm in a single shot. A lotta times, that's all you need. Cheap too. Just a thought.

Haven't shopped for one in a while, I picked up a used Beretta 310 with fixed IC choke about 5 yrs ago. Lightweight auto and looks good to. But check out Charles Daly, Condor, of course the Rem 870 but cruise the gun stores you might find surprise.

I would go with either a Remington 870 or a Mossberg 500. Both very good guns for the money. I have a Mossberg 500 but like the Remington 870 better. The reason I went with the Mossberg is becaouse I'm a lefty and I like the thumb saftey.

I really like side by sides for rabbit hunting. Very lightweight and easy to carry when broke down.

for shotguns i use a 870 and you cant beat it. but as chapko said i really enjoy carrying my ruger mark III .22 pistol. it is fun and challenging. and it is also pretty inexpensive to shoot.

later, dave

One of my hunting buddies has an over and under by Stoeger and it is real nice. Light weight and reasonably priced. I would own one for sure.
It shoots good as well, he kills rabbits with it and he is almost as bad at shooting as I am! LOL.

You cant go wrong with the Stoeger Condor or Uplander for the money, they both are great guns however I strongly prefer the Stoeger Condor of the 2, And the 16 Guage or the 410 is about the best you can get from Stoeger. Otherwise I would strongly recomend the Winnchester 1300, Remington 870 and last but not least the Mossberg 500, you cant go wrong with any of the above mentioned guns. I most always hunt rabbit with a 16 gauge or a 410, the 410 is a fun little gun during rabbit season and it will also make you a better shot.
