Go with the 20 ga and then move up later if you want. If you have a friend with a 12 ga offer to pay for the ammo and see if he will let you put some rounds through it. Personally I still shoot the same 20 ga that I got when I was 12 and I am 55 this year. I also have a 12 ga that I shoot from time to time as well. Good luck and safe hunting.

I'm buying the choice as an enders gun just not a beginners gun. Mine is easy to carry both slimmer profile, and lighter than a 12 ga. and I can shoot a 12 ga. standard pheasnat load in the gun. Shells are about the same price as a 12 because of all the 20 ga gun sales. But if you hunt waterfowl, the gun is then limited in use...only close in shooting over decoys because the casing won't hold enough of the bigger steel pellets. But for upland birds I will take my 20 ga. over the 12 ga. for effectiveness. Up, and on target faster than my 12 ga guns.
