    Find a good condition second hand Winchester or Mossberg 500. If you look hard enough they can be had for anywhere between 3k - 5k.
    Leaves plenty cash for a 2/3 rifle safe.

    Alternatively, spend 10k and try find a used Benelli Nova, and while you wait for the license save for a safe.

    10K is enough to get a decent shotgun, a safe and some ammunition as well.

    Questions:

    1. Do you have a competency, or is it part of the budget?

    2. Is it for a certain purpose ie hunting, sport shooting, general usage?

    3. Do you have experience, or a preference for a particular type of shotgun?

    Hi Gazzamck

    i did look at a few turkish shotguns and was impressed by the value for money option.
    i recently went to dave sheer and saw some there and two more dealers.

    I've seen problems with the reliability of some Turkish semi-auto shotguns on the range. If you buy new, make sure with the dealer you buy from what recourse you will have if the gun is unreliable.

    You missed the Beretta that Snoeshaas had. Extremely well regarded.
