I can also use a bolt action 20 guage :)

The Winchester would work fine as long as you can find an extended tube for it. I see Midway carries them.

Cabelas has a Winshester 1200 12 guage, pump action, 24-26" barrel, with a nice big changeable choke on it. Its only like $229 or 269, cant recall. Good deal, and a useable gun for the events?

As long as it fires, it'll work.
The reason most people mention the 870 is that you can pick up used police issue 870s with extended tubes for pretty cheap most places, and that extended tube is handy.
As long as it fires, you are able to handle it safely, and it'll hold shells, you'll be good to go. :)

Today I picked up a Remmington 870 from walmart for $299. It has a $30 rebate so the price was hard to beat. It has a long barrel but I plan to get the mag extension. Took it out and tried it, and shot some trap as well. I decided it was worth the extra $100 to get the mag extension and have a quality shotgun.
Does anyone know how much ammo is needed for multi gun for each gun?

It changes each time, so bear in mind that these are estimates---and that I always bring LOTS more ammo than I need, just so I don't run out. (I've never lost a match because I brought too much ammo. ::) )
This Sunday's match has rifle/shotgun, pistol/rifle, pistol/shotgun, and 3-gun stages. So, three stages use each gun. I'd bring at least 150 rounds of each, just to be safe.
That being said, I'll probably have 60 rounds in mags for pistol plus another 200 in boxes, 90 in rifle mags with another 200 in boxes, and 250 shotgun shells with 24 already in carriers. :) Doesn't hurt me at all to have more ammo sitting in my car, just in case I have to reshoot a stage or two.
I'm designing the rifle/shotgun stage (on bay 5), so for example, there will be 10-12 rifle targets and 12-14 shotgun targets on that stage. (And perhaps a no-shoot or two, so aim carefully!)
