I'm looking to buy my first shotgun, mostly for occasional clay shooting at a friend's property and range visits. Would you guys recommend a pump or an over/under? There's a remote chance that I might get into more organized shooting later, so I've been leaning O/U. What do you think? Thanks!

I would say it depends on if there is a specific clay discipline you are interested in, how often you are really going to shoot, what your budget is, and how likely it is you will get into organized shoots.
I've been on the market for a trap gun, and entry level guns are in the $2,500 range, with a jump of almost double that to get into the mid-quality range. Good over unders are ****ing expensive.
If you're really thinking about an O/U, you need to first figure out if you want a field grade gun, or a competition grade gun.
