Not sure about posting links to other forums on here, so search greybeards outdoors forum and there is a whole section for H&R shotguns and rifles. But pretty much seems like 20 ga is plenty and accurate to 150 yards. If I were in the market it would be between that and a CVA Optima Elite. Both allow changable barrels like the Encore at a reasonable price. CVA uses Bergera barrels so it is kinda a toss up. Unless you can afford the Encore.
