I recently starting hunting snowshoe hares, and I've found my 870 to be too heavy. And after my last hunting trip in heavy snow I had to break it down to dry and clean despite having never fired a shot. Plus I've got to switch barrels and shells to convert from hunting to hd. And finally I've been looking for a cheap, reliable gun to keep in the garage.
I want something I can use for skunks, groundhogs, and something I can grab in a pinch if an aggressive dog shows up. And something that I can grab for a quick rabbit or bird hunt. I'll build a custom and hidden cabinet for it, but it will be stored in an unheated garage.
After some research it looks like Rossi and H&R are my best options. Any advice? Seems like 20 gauge makes more sense than a 410. But I'm open to any thoughts.
