I prefer a 20" 12 gauge over/under myself.
Honestly, tarp can be shot with anything that fires, well, shot. How well you'll do is a matter of skill and / or luck. A Rem 870 is an excellent choice for a starter and is only one of the most common pump actions in the world. Kind of like the small block chevy of shotguns, often imitated yet rarely duplicated.

From what I can tell, the only problems with the Red Label are its weight and the swivel safety.
This is a hell of a deal considering BPS wants $1,750 for the gun:

I can't get on many gun sites at work due to the firewall, but check www.gunbroker.com for pricing on new and used. Even if you don't buy there, the past sales section shows what things are actually SELLING for, not just listed for.

What discipline exactly are you hoping to pursue? You may want a different gun if you're shooting trap vs. sporting clays vs skeet. If you intend to shoot trap exclusively I'd suggest that you get a trap specific O/U, probably a Citori, or Beretta. The trap specific guns have a higher rib that is nice for climbing birds but a PITA for falling or level birds. If you want to get into sporting clays (which I highly suggest) or just keep your options open, I'd suggest more of a field type gun with a standard rib. You can go either O/U or auto in this class. I personally prefer sporting clays and like to be able to use the same gun hunting so I shoot a Beretta AL391. In O/Us I'd stick to Brownings and Berettas, or if you're really baller, Perazzi or Krieghoff.
