Answer 1

I would steer you away from a pump shotgun if you are considering shooting that many clays on a weekend.

Seriously consider getting an auto loader. The gases needed to operate a gas operated semi-automatic mechanism or inertia taken from the recoil in an inertia driven mechanism, significantly help reduce the "felt recoil" in a 12 gauge shotgun. I have an older Remington 1100, it's beautiful with a "skeet" barrell, never let me down, pops clays almost by itself and I can shoot all day without getting sore.

Although...getting both is a good option! I do like the Remington 870 series. More accessories are made for that model than any other.
