Looking for a shotgun

[JoJoDapyro]

Benelli Nova. The ability to add a 3 1/2 mag for goose on the fly is a great option. With the addition of a recoil reducer that goes into the butt they are pretty light.

Now if we are talking if price weren't an issue, Benelli Super Black Eagle 2.

870.

Unless you are a lefty, then Browning BPS...bottom eject settles the dominant hand issue. 

Either way, the sound of the slide racking on a shotgun speaks a universal language, whether it is a .410, 20 ga. 12 ga, or boss hog 3 1/2 inch magdumb 10 guage.  It tells people the reason the door was locked for the intruder's safety, not yours.

Cheers guys, thanks for all the advice.
The guy in one shop was trying to sell me on a dominion arms grizzley. It has mixed reviews, the 8.5" looks pretty cool though, it's was super cheap, a little too cheap...?
I went to another store and the 2 guys also said the 870 was the way to go.
Looks like lots of votes for the 870, thanks again guys

Make sure to post some pictures of whatever you get.

Im of a different opinion on this.I dont want an intruder knowing my location,until im ready to fire.If i choose,i can scare them with my voice,right before i fire or to tell them its time to give it up and go prone.If they know my location before i have the upper hand,then they know where to start firing and could get a lucky shot.Tweakers are known to just start firing at any sound.

remington 870, but if i had money, and it was legal AA12. but the money thing ya know, so 870.Tony

[mullet]

I'd go with the 870 also, unless you can handle the Mossberg 835 in a short barrel. That's what I have for a turkey gun.

[gifford]

I've got to agree, an 870 Wingmaster 12 guage with a 28 Modified barrel - I've had mine for over 50 years. I've also kept a couple of single shots, a 12 and 410 both of which are older than me being hand down family guns.

If you want a repeater, go with an older Wingmaster, since the advent of screw in chokes, the fixed choke, like mine, have become a great used gun buy.

YMMV

[Traxx]

Yeah Gifford,

My old Iver Johnson is at least 80 years old and shoots as good as the day it was made and it aint been pampered neither.

[willie]

is the bush you prowl include salt water boating access or bears? 

chrome and stainless short barrel pumps are popular further up the coast

[jayman448]

If ya think yer the rifle man get yerself a 45/70 mares leg xD ka frikkin boom. Hahaha

Sometimes you can find some dandy guns at shows.  I picked up an unusual 12 gauge that was missing some parts many years ago.  It was a short barrel pump action Mossberg with adjustable choke and a 3 round clip.  It was missing the butt stock, firing pin and the clip.  I rebuilt it, making a stock out of Maple, and was able to find the other missing parts.  The gun was light and kicked like a Mule but it was reliable and versatile, pity it got stolen.

The Guide gun is available in 45/70 or .444 Marlin (18 inch barrel, lever action, ported barrel.). Grizzly arms also has a 45/70 5 shot revolver, it is called "Maxine".

[JW_Halverson]

Maxine kills fore and aft!
