Everybody likes pump shotguns, nobody seems to like or own pump rifles. I don't get it. Here are the benefits that I see in a pump rifle:
1. Accurate as a bolt
2. Fast as a semi-auto
3. Simple/reliable as a bolt
In a .223 caliber this seems like it'd be a great "urban-defense" alternative but Remington and Browning are the only major gun makers that make a pump rifle and the smallest caliber they have is .243.
What do you-all think about a Remington 7600 for an urban defense gun, in .243?
And, in general, why don't more folks appreciate the advantages I've mentioned above? Are there some obvious disadvantages I've missed? Does anyone even own a pump rifle?
