Welcom blundy

You should get something half decent secondhand wise for £500 once you get your ticket sorted
It's a few years back now but I brought a 30" multi choke O/U bettensoli 12g for something like £525 but I'm no aficionado on shotguns and use mine once/ twice a year so wasn't looking for anything special

It's worth investigating how shotguns "fit" the shooter before buying one, Length, Bend and Cast can make a big difference to where the gun naturally points when you raise it to your shoulder, if you buy a gun which doesn't fit you it will not naturally point where you are looking when you shoulder the gun,
