Personally I’d wait until we can all get out a bit more ( I know you won’t; I wouldn’t either as a novice ) and try as many different guns as possible.

If it’s going to get muddy and is more of a tool than not, I’d opt for either a synthetic stocked pump or similar in an auto. 
Remington do a fabulous synthetic 870, Baikel MP 153 have a good reputation as a workhorse and won’t break the bank either, but a Benelli might, although they’re worth it. 
There are many more to choose from on the secondhand market, it all depends on your budget really, but I’d go for a 12 bore.

If its gonna be a hard working gun an i guess you don't really want to pay a load of money on a super nice gun ..

I'd look for either a Turkish over under new or sh .New they go around £600 

Or a semi auto with plastic stock .something like a hatsan or armsan .£400 

They are light and easy to shoot well (less recoil ) 

The only down side to a sa.is that they need a bit more cleaning than an ou .

But thats not too hard once you know how .

12 or 20 b  

20b s are a  bit lighter if that matters

Cheers fellers will take a look, a pall of mine has a semi auto but the guides need sorting said I could have it for free and get it fixed 

The semi I had used to throw the used ones 15 feet, I got rid as the job of collecting the hulls was trouble in the long grass.

The farmer was pleased too as the cows were stupid enough to munch them.

But a used Aya Yeoman/ Ugatachea etc if you want a side by side .

Any number of used Spanish Italian O/U's about .

Dont spend more than a couple of hundred pounds ,[ I picked up a no named Italian non ejector  O/U for £80 for someone to use as a "tractor Gun "] then LEARN to use the it , then when you have you are better suited to knowing what you need .

I would not buy a auto , if you are a novice , to many problems and the safety aspect is a factor .

You need to talk to a gun dealer who will best advise you when you have explained what you want , he will allow you to handle a few guns , and you can then decide what will suit you best .

If you can take someone with you who knows a little more than you may do yourself .
