are ya looking to get under/over, side b side, or lever action or straight pull or what?
If youre going under and over my advice is any of the cheapish turkish brands are all gonna do the job just make sure to get one with ejectors cos anything else is just peasantry lol
straight pulls i hear good things about impala and my old man has a dickinson T1000 and that works great,
I have a cheap spanish Lanber under and over and it cost me 600 bucks and is great for knocking over most things.
side by sides are ok if youre going a cheap little scrub gun or wanting to buy something that looks more historical, i have a rossi side by side 410 that my dad bought me when i was 9 or so years old.
the old man also has an akkar 3 triple barrel, which is a cool gun to have but its not light, better suited to waiting on fencelines and such during fox and roo drives rather than walking all day with.
personally I would look for a cheap leading brand second hand with all its faculties intact or go a cheaper turkish brand, if going turkish i would probably look at going a straight pull or under/over rather than a lever gun. but thats mostly due to the licensing nonsense attached to lever stuff with the whole adler reclassification etc.
