Hey folks. I find myself in search of a couple of different long guns for a couple of different needs. My problem is that I can barely afford one.
Need #1 Home defense
I am thinking shotgun. Specifically, I am thinking a 410, because it needs to be something my wife can handle easily, and she is pretty recoil shy.
Need #2 Hunting
I am looking for something that will be good for whitetails at short distances, not much beyond 100 yards.
It also needs to be simple. I am not likely to buy anything with interchangeable barrels, etc.
This has led me to the Rossi Circuit Judge (the one with the wood stock, not the goofy looking plastic "tactical" version). 410/.45LC out of a 16" barrel. It looks good on paper, but does it perform? Does anyone have specific experience with it?
