Have owned 3 uggies, currently own two, .love my 16 and carried it about 50% this season. They have run a lot of model numbers over the years on what is by and large the same gun with some generally slight stock and cosmetic differences, the rest of the variables being in the extract/eject and auto safety or not type items. These thoughts do not include the sidelock guns. Uggies are a good spot to start with sxs shotguns. As mentioned often on the site, CZ , SKB and Browning are good choices also.
