When confronted with the question you ask, I looked around a bit and then bought a Browning 525 Sporting. It's a really nice gun with removable/external chokes. The one thing I will say about is that its swing is a bit heavy, since the heft of the barrels make the gun feel just a bit front-weighted. Some people choose Berettas for just this reason, as they seem to have a lighter swing. I don't think you can go wrong with either of them.

I think choosing the sporting is the way to go because it's more adaptable - might not be the ideal skeet gun (especially mine, since it has 32-inch barrels), but it works really well for trap and sporting clays.

In any case, you're into a sport that's really great fun. Pretty expensive, too, unfortunately. And with lots to learn, for me, at least, about shotgun shells.
