what gun would you choose?

Well, I'm a bettin' man- and a Mossberg, Remmy or Saiga beats a flashlight and a cell phone any day of the week

Ithaca 37.

Lightweight, easy loading, superior controls.

The SEALs liked them during Vietnam.

Huh?!?!?!

Shell lifter ? Try elevator, the actual manufacturer's term. My preference would be the Mossberg 500, with an ATI Adjustable stock, capacity's 5+1, with 5 additional shells in the shell holder. I just buy the cheapest 2 3/4" birdshot shells I can find, allowing me to practice more often, while allowing room for some pistol ammo, too!

Short barreled Winchester 97. No lights, no fancies. No racking the slide. Just click and boom.

870 for me. It's pretty new and I haven't shot it much - and I'm going to have to find something to do with all that rail-estate. Actually, the rail over the receiver is raised just enough to make a nice sight tunnel underneath.

The Windhester 1300 Defender is indeed again in manufacture, or at least what is marketed as a 1300 Defender under the Winchester brand. Now it is manufactured in Turkey, imported by a company the name of which I couldn't make out on the barrrel, but it is also stamped as a Winchester.
