Don't see having to do that with the shotgun though as I expect some deals will be there after all this is over.
Once this is all over, prowling the used racks for a good deal on a Browning Auto 5 or Remington 12 deal might just be fun.

For what the OP posted I'd recommend putting a Beretta A390 with a 26 or 28" barrel into consideration. Great shotgun for clays, etc. for the price and the couple I've owned have just run and run. And are still running for the guys I sold them to.
I also give a nod to the Remington V3. If you want to get a general purpose one, you might consider the 26" in lieu of the 28" as the balance is a little further forward because of the piston system forward of the trigger group on the barrel and lack of recoil spring in the stock. This will be a better balance of upland vs waterfowl or clay shooting.
You can also get an 18" barrel for it now and magazine extension if you want to adopt it for HD at some point.

Any idea what the used prices might be?
I don't do upland or waterfowl hunting...but I do like to shoot dove on occasion.
Any issues with how the V3 vents out through the handguards?
Too soon, boomer doomer!
Doesn't seem to be a problem for the 1301 and friends.

Not another dime.
An Auto 5 12ga is on my list of "missing heritage guns". Dad had one when I was a kid, but had to sell it during a bit of financial trouble long ago.
It joins the S&W .32-20 that my grandma let rust out after my grandpa died.

Good condition in central Virginia, $500 or so.
That might work depending on condition...but they're mighty proud of their guns down here in San Antonio.
