If you want a good budget gun, Look into Maverick series. It’s a sub company of Mossberg, uses all Mossberg 500 components but half the price. I’ve got one, Maverick 88. It’s my go to home defense gun. Rides around in my Jeep on every road trip. It’s durable as heck. I can’t fathom how many rounds I’ve put thru it in 15 years but it’s been thousands,
Have 2 Remington 870s, one a wing master,
An 1187, a Winchester model 11, and JC Higins and a Mossberg 500. The Mav88 is my favorite
