I laid down my bucks for a 1300 Winchester 8 round defense shotgun the other day, and wondered if you folks had some input on this gun. I understand that the Benelli is a fine combat shotgun but they are hard to find in this area and I kind of liked the looks of the Winchester, also the fiber optics front sight. It seems to come up with the comb and drop at heel about right for me, the front sight lines up with the top of the gun well. At $279 it seemed like a pretty good deal. I liked it better than the Mossberg, I like the cross bolt safety better too.
Let me know your thoughts on this, as I read all kinds of good stuff in your forum on self-defense guns.
