I agree with what Dave says, especially the part about 20 gauge. I used to get ribbed a lot by the macho men at the skeet range for using a 20 gauge Model 12. My feeling is that if you can't hit game or skeet with a 20, you needed to practice and improve your skills. Your shoulder will thank you.

As far as pigeon grade, you will spend more time not shooting in the field than you will spend shooting, so why not have something that you can enjoy and admire while at home
