If you're not above buying 2nd hand shotguns - look for an old Remington 1100. They made a gazillion of 'em, and very, very few of them ever wore out. Buy a couple of O rings to fit (that's one part that does deteriorate - but they cost like 12 cents) and go bust up some birds, clay or feathery. I bought a 20 gauge 1100 while in college back in the 70's as my designated quail gun - it's still going strong. Picked up a 12 several years ago, they make a nice matched set.
I hate to admit it but I got tossed down the stairs at Buzzard Beach back in the 80s, when I was still a drinking man (and an obnoxious drunk) and it messed up my collarbone. Shotguns that bleed off a lot of recoil to load the next shell is a good cure for that particular malady. 1100's fall into that category - YMMV but they're good guns for me.
