So along with wheeling and getting tattoos.....guns/range is one of my other hobbies (I sometimes ask myself why every hobby I choose cost a good deal of $$)

Anyway, I am looking to get a 12 gauge for x-mas as it is my bday as well.

What are your guys personal experiences with different makes? the primary use will be range/outdoor range as well as my primary home defense

I am leaning towards mossberg but I am open to suggestions (I plan to have many tactical add-ons later)
