What are good (and ideally cheap!) sec2 semi auto or pump action shotguns on the market today?

Hatsan are everywhere, but I hear very mixed reports. Whats worth buying (new or s/h) with a budget of around £300.

A Mossberg 500 P/A is always my first choice.

I have a Mossberg A500 Select Choke pump action that I have had for 39 years cleaned twice in that time (covered in blood) never been serviced and it works first time every time.
As Ovenpaa says first choice

Remington 870 at that price.

New Stoeger P350 for around that money.

I bought a Winchester 1300 when I was eighteen and still have it.

Mossberg 500.
Clunk-click every trip.

I bought a Beretta 303 semi auto probably about 1988, it was second hand then and I still have it. Can count on one hand the amount of times its failed to cycle correctly. Might be a little bit more than your budget but worth a look.

I've got one of the first gen Hatsans. Never had an issue with it. Me and 3 mates put 1000 cartridges through it in one day and it never missed a beat, and that was with 28gram loads.

I have Savage 77 its probably almost as old as me (couldn't check the serial number...it doesn't have one ) its never given trouble, and a Marrochi semi, same thing never given trouble (although I do try and clean the gas system every slab or so ) does anyone actually make an unreliable pump or semi?
