Cheap, Light Ugly Shotgun
1I'm looking for a shotgun to carry on a potential trip through the Yukon Territory this coming summer. My handgun wouldn't be welcome there so I'm thinking of a short pump 12 GA in case anything large and furry wants to hurt us. I saw some really lo low cost pump shotguns, like H&R, Stevens and Dickerson. Any thoughts on those? An Ithaca Featherlight would be nice but might not be cheap and ugly enough for a beat around gun. I'm leaning toward either a Rem. 870 or Mossberg 500, since it sounds like both of those have easily changeable barrels so the same gun could be used for trap shooting and bird hunting. I was surprised to see that Canada allows shorter shotgun barrels than the US.
