I hunt with a Remington 11-87, and have a Mossberg 500 for home defense, the 11-87 will probably become a home defense gun someday, but I need short barrel for it, a side saddle, and fork out another $350 for a surefire fore end first. I have had the Mossberg for over 5 years now, and when I bought it put the side saddle, surefire fore end light on it, and a speedfeed stock. I also have a O/U for trap, and field birds, I also have numerous other shotguns I either use for hunting or fun. I have more different shotguns than handguns. Shotguns are just so useful, I also have a 20ga pump that I got when I first started hunting, it has now become a small game bird gun, like grouse and dove. And I have a .410 I use for hunting small game like rabbits and other small game.
