You have a noble quest, my friend... but I am not sure you can find an all-purpose shotgun. My Super Black Eagle shoots turkeys... magnificently. My Benelli M4 is my carry gun. The two are diametrically opposed with intended results. I have about 14 shotguns... 1 Rem 12 ga. 870; 4 Win. 12 ga. 1897's; 1 Win. 12 ga. 1887; 1 Stevens .410 (my first when I was 7 years old); 1 Savage 20 ga. pump; 2 Browning 20 ga. Belgium made Auto-5's; 1 Beretta 12 ga. 591; 1 Benelli Montefeltro; and the two mentioned first in my post. When it comes to Benelli shotguns, get the most expensive that you can afford for the greatest intended purpose for the purchase. Then later-on... buy another to fit the second greatest intended purpose.
