  You also mention range shooting -- do compare the cost of 308 vs 270 ammo -- you can put a lot
  more 308 down range for the same cost. And quality ammo in either caliber will handle the kind
  of hunting...

  lots of used guns around if someone will help you screen for quality -- pumps and over/unders

  I'd be inclined to stick with 12g -- even 7/8oz loads will work for skeet and 16yard trap --
