My first love is an Ithaca M37 so that's what I'm going to plug, great gun all around.....bonus points because it's ambidextrous(mostly). I'm going to say to start with get a 12. It's the .30-06 of the shotgun world. That being said a 20 is awfully nice too. I also have a Tristar O/U 12ga I...

I considered .243 but I've seen alot more 6.5CM...
