I don't know about the laws in your area, but a used Remington 1187 semi-automatic shotgun in 12 or 20 gauge would be a good all-around shotgun. I have a 12 ga and have used it for pheasant,duck,geese,grouse and it's been reliable and inexpensive. I bought mine 10 years ago at Gander Mtn. (local sporting goods store) for $375 (I believe). A 20 gauge is supposed to be more versatile and capable of shooting/hunting the same way the 12ga does, but with less kick and cheaper ammo. I had a Mossberg that was a piece of junk and I bought it brand-new. It failed to fire/cycle so many times I gave it away...
