Scott, I could give you some suggestions but first would like to hear what you like. A shotgun needs to fit and shoot where you look for the main points. From there it's what you like.
I started with a Daisy BB gun and then went to the Crossman 760. Killed a lot of birds with my 870 pump but when I got serious I needed a gun I could carry ALL day.Clb - you kind of nailed it, good in sight!
I would like a field gun, that I could take to the trap range. You have to understand that I started with the 870 wing master - pretty cheap but a good choice hunting the salt & I killed a lot of birds.
Looking to be a bit more refined so that I can wear a fancy tweed hat.
You guys gave been more than kind and I appreciate the input and comments.
My sincere thanks to all.

especially if you take the time to reload your hulls, with the proper wads you can even go down to 7/8 oz, like a 28ga!One 12 gauge I bought a little over a year ago weighs about the same as a 20 gauge. CZ-Huglu came out with an Upland Ultralight. A 12 gauge weighs approximately 6 lbs and is fun to shoot with 1 ounce and lighter ammo. I shot a bunch of skeet with it last summer while trading off with the DeHaan Huglu.
Alex, 28ga is 3/4 oz. your point on 7/8 oz loads in 12 ga is excellent, though.especially if you take the time to reload your hulls, with the proper wads you can even go down to 7/8 oz, like a 28ga!
