What sort of makes/models have you in mind, from reading the several recent similar posts on F~B?

Don't really mind, I don't want to buy cheap and end up buying something more pricey down the line, but I don't want to spend over the odds for something which I couldn't use to its full potential

Have a look in the shotgun section, there are quite a few threads covering this.
Also take a look in the sale section wink wink [WINKING FACE]

Stoeger M3000, cheapish and reliable.

Talk widely with people who compete in target, practical, and action shotgun events, then decide if you want a box magazine gun (which take less practice to load quickly), or a tube magazine gun where you will need more practice on loading.
I am unable to advise on a semi-auto as I am a pump-gun shooter, but get one that is winning matches, not something passé or cheap.
