I have always had and been bought up on a 12 bore since the age of 7. I think for gun choice and cartridge price and range its the best option for what you will be shooting.(my opinion only, a good shot can hit anything with anything, as they say)
As for gun choice, the bst thing I can say is "what fits best" is a better way of looking at it and what you can afford. Choose ya budget and found a gun that fits in your budget, an ill fitting gun just aint gonna kill the pest you go hunting for, and you will just get frustrated when you miss most of your quarry.
