[QUOTE="ProBusiness, post: 2218473, member: 6145"] mavericks are good guns - $169 (or they were) at Academy. i think you can buy a great pump 870 or mossberg 500 series. what i mean is $200 or $300 on a pump and why spend more. now for a semi-auto - buy a proven action. I am not up to date on all the semis that have come out in the last 10 years. do you want a 20 vs a 12 for reasons? if there is no hard reason, a 12 is going to give you more pellets per load and thus a higher percentage of stopping the guy. as far at the pellets being delivered, shotguns are not like rifles. rifles supposedly you spend more money for a better barrel, accuracy,. and action. imo a $200 shotgun vs a $1500 still delivers the same pattern of pellets for HOME DEFENSE. Now, for hunting, (greater distances than home defense distance) a better barrel can deliver a better pattern. I know this to be true because I have patterned quite a few shotguns/barrels at 30 to 40 yards and there is a difference in barrels. for some cheaper barrels the pattern can be off high, low, left or right by 1/2 of a pattern or more but i don't think this makes a difference at 8-18 feet.
