Friends...looking at a shotgun, mostly for HD use. I don't think I would use it for hunting, although that might be a possibility in the future.
Right now I'm looking at two and would greatly appreciate your thoughts.
First, is a well used Savage 69RH. It's a State of Arizona police shotgun, 12 ga, pump action, looks like a short barrel. The shop is asking $179. And they have a number of them. Seems like the pump is very smooth. Painted wood stocks. I doubt it's been shot much.
Second, is a new Maverick 88 at the local sporting goods store for $179. Very basic 12 ga, somewhat longer barrel. There are excellent reviews on this one. It is synthetic stock.
Just curious as to your thoughts on both of these shotguns. Many thanks.
