I've owned a couple of Remingtons (rifles), but never had a shotgun of either brand.

However, I'd have no problem with buying either one, as long as it felt comfortable to me. The "brand" thing is generally over-rated with major companies IMO.

Your call. :drunk2:

LOL, I'll put up my 1928 year model Model 12 Winchester against every pump gun mentioned. Of course, it's been brought up to new gun standards.
I'd never use a pump gun for home defense though.
When I was stationed in Panama, we had Winchester 1300s complete with M1917 pig sticker bayonets. They were WELLLLLL worn. For the most part they functioned well though

The potentiality of having one arm or hand injured then precludes the use of the pump in many cases. Lots of folks prefer semi-auto shotguns for one handed operations.
It wont be an issue. When you rack the action on a pump shotty, in the dark, whoever is in the house will make a new exit hole leaving with no shots ever fired...lol

The poll needs neither, or other options.
Hey Dennis,
I definitely understand and had even considered it, but I really wanted to get a feel of the board's preference between just the two, and increasing options by just one would substantially reduce my likelyhood of obtaining a definitive answer between the two.
