****, that one has the extended mag tube on it and it looks even more BA. I just checked gander mtn online and it says sold out, but they may have one used or something. I'm definitely going to check them out, right in my price range too.
Thanks for the feed back man!

Well if your looking for something impractical then go for the Winchester model 1897 "trench gun". Nothing says home defense like an 1897!

yeah, the local shops have shotguns out the *** still, but everything else, pistols and tactical rifles are picked over very well. Ammo is almost impossible to get. Has forced me to stop my weekend shooting range outtings so I can save the rounds I have.

I think the 870 in it's different flavors has been around for 90 or so years and sold about 10 million. The most ppoular shotgun of all time. The "suvivalists" recommend the 18" barrel Home Defence/Tactical model and #4 shot. Personally I prefer a wooden stock.

Reloading becomes addicting and makes you OCD.
