[QUOTE="Redmule454, post: 2741032, member: 7396"] I know it is not as popular as the Remington but I am partial to the Winchester Defender. It has an 18" barrel, extended magazine (holds (6) 3" shells or (7) 2 3/4", and the action is recoil assisted. That means recoil opens the bolt about half way, it starts the pump action for you, just half a stroke back and then slam it forward.....very fast. And it helps reduce felt recoil. You can find a used one for around $250 or new for $450. [url]http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=480818164[/url] They even make a marine version. [url]http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=480698631[/url] I am also partial to #1 or #4 buckshot, better penetration and bigger wounds than birdshot, more pellets than buckshot with less over penetration thru walls. A couple of those followed by 00 buck. I figure if I have to fire 2 rounds and the fight is not over then I am in it deep and I am not too concerned with over penetration, may actually need it. I also have slugs mounted on the side if I need to reach out further. My 2 cents :twocents: [/QUOTE]
