I would say the best shotgun for the money would be a Mossberg 500 in 12ga. You might consider a 20ga but the 12ga is the most common. They are reliable and have loads of aftermarket accessories available. If you want to upgrade a little you can go with a Remington 870. Either one would be a great shotgun. As for the rifle I would recommend a .22 LR since you can practice so cheap. I would say it would be hard to beat a Ruger 10/22. You could get a larger caliber but with current ammo prices they are very expensive to shoot. As far a accessories go you really don't need anything. Maybe a scope for your rifle. And maybe a sling for your shotgun. They make some neat little add ons but I prefer to keep things basic and simple.

These shotguns aren’t too expensive — try to buy them new.. Looking for? – A track record of proven reliability… Mossberg 500 shotguns are known for there reliability in hunting, security, police and military duty…..

Accessories? — None or very few…. A sling, decent case and good cleaning kit is all you will need….

I will add you might want to take some one along with you when looking at used guns who has been around guns a while. It's kinda like buying a used car when you first get your license. A rifle or shot gun should have a certain "feel" to it when it is handled and if you have never been around many you won't know a jem from junk. Good luck and have fun!

As i understand it, in Oregon all you have to do is find a gun store that has what you want, show them your valid state ID, wait a few seconds to a minute while the dealer makes a phone call for a background check, fill out a little yellow form, then hand the dealer the money. They may ask you "Would you like some ammunition with that?" As far as accessories go, the good ones would be slings, scopes (optional for a shotgun), and cleaning kits. There are many others, especially for the types of guns which previous posters have recommended (good choices, by the way), but these aren't always practical. You’re certainly old enough.
