Other than fit and feel, which features and which over under shotguns have you enjoyed in a DO IT ALL role. Thanks again for your wisdom, Rick

Both Browning and Ruger are good shotguns. What I would like you to look at as well is Fausti. Those are beautiful Italian made shotguns.
The Caledon for instance is on my bucket list.
Item# 15102, 12ga, 3" chamber, 28" barrel, A+ Turkish walnut with oiled finish, weighs approx. 7.25lbs and comes with 5 chokes.
And this all for $1,899 + $35 shipping.
Fausti USA - Products Caledon
You can buy choke tubes for use of sub gauge calibers, but they are expensive.
Briley Manufacturing, shotgun choke manufacturer and gunsmithing - Fitted Tube Sets
I'd rather invest that money in ammunition.
