Pump shotguns used to be popular on the trap and skeet ranges. Some forget that when Winchester brought out the model 12 is was in 20 gauge first and they did make trap guns in that gauge. The best had a black diamond inset into the wrist of the gun. They sported vent ribs.

I sometimes shoot my 870 20 gauge at skeet which requires some pretty quick pumping. I seldom buy new shotguns, but I just purchased a factory new Rem 870 Wingmaster and it is a fine little gun. Seems to have old world quality...not cheap either, but what is? Scotch will sat you back $70!!!! (I can't afford to drink the good stuff anymore.)
