I want a 12ga that holds up to 6 shells, can take 3 1/2" shells, screw in chokes and a variety of barrels for waterfowl/tukey, upland game, coyote that doesn't kick like a friggin' mule. Prefer camo option but a low priority. Will consider all brands but prefer to keep it synthetic and affordable...will be abused in the field in all tpes of weather. Slug gun barrel option also a plus.

Human beings only have two ways to deal with one another: reason and force. Force has no place as a valid method of social interaction, and the only thing that removes force from the menu is the personal firearm, as paradoxical as it may sound to some.
The U.S. city with the most restrictive gun laws in the nation, Washington, D.C., has the highest murder rate at 24 per 100,000.
The state with the most unrestrictive gun regulations, Vermont, has the lowest murder rate at 0.48 per 100,000. -
I'd think the 500 should have enough options and parts available to fit your needs.NRA Patron Member
I've written up my ongoing adventures as I learn to hunt.
Yes, you CAN fit a case of shotgun shells into a .50cal ammo can.
I think i found an optimal solution for ammo can labeling.
I made this target for the NRA's Marksman pistol test. I think it's a lot better than the paper plate they suggest. -

Remington 870 IMO is a great choiceComment

The Benelli Nova would be a good choice. It fits all the requirements you are looking for. It's also affordable and very reliable. Any Mossberg is ideal also but it doesn't take 3 1/2 shells, the Nova does.Comment

The Mossberg 535 ATS is what you may be looking for. 3.5" chamber, it will hold six, black synthetic, has the choke system. You're gonna get some kick out of a 3.5" shell, no matter the pump gun. Mossberg's do NOT kick any harder than any other pump. There are various 535 ATS models to choose from. Look at the Mossberg website.Comment

Nice shotgun, but, if you want six, 535.Comment

It sounds like you are asking a lot for a single gun. I would consider multiple guns. I like the Remington 870 because they are reliable and you have a chance to get them repaired almost anyplace you may be.Comment

Not that the 870 doesn't have a good reputation, but Remington's QC is terrible as of late. 4 of my friends have brought out 870s to the range lately and they have all had the action lock up, as in required gunsmithing to unlock. I would stay FAR away from Remington for the time being.
Every 500/590 I've ever been around has been 110%.
OP, Where you serious about them recoiling harder than any other pump gun?!
