We bought a piece of 8acre property this year that has a lot of woods and a pretty big lawn area. I decided a good Marlin lever-action would make a great defense weapon, at a comparatively cheap price weapon, for the homestead - both inside and out. Unfortunately "good" and Marlin didn't mix, as the new 41mag I bought jammed consistently. I refunded it back in towards a Benelli M1S90 (AND bought a Ruger RH 41mag they happened to have to use up the ammo I had bought).
Later the Benelli went back for an AR-10, and THAT went back towards an M1A Scout for SHTF when the AR-10 wouldn't extract right.
Anyway, I too like the idea of something like a Beretta Storm for HD, and wouldn't mind another good tactical shotgun to go along with my Colt 1911, the Storm (9mm) & the Ruger.
