One of the things I'm thankful for this Thanksgiving is having my wife's blessing to get my first 12-gauge.
Until earlier today, I'd planned on saving some money and getting an IAC/Hawk/Norinco 982 budget Rem 870 clone.
But now I see Saiga 12's for $450-$500 -- more than I'd planned to spend, but not an amount that would provoke my wife to kill me, either.
Would a Saiga 12 be an okay first shotgun, or should I stick with a basic pump action for a while first, for the sake of simplicity?
I'd appreciate anyone's thoughts.
