I've hunted with several but this 12 Ga model 1300 pump with short barrel is my favorite
although far from the most expensive , it really serves it's purpose well . I left it in a field
once and had to go back for it b4 hunting the next spot :lol:

I prefer a .410 single for snowshoe hare it helps to keep the population numbers up.

My favorite gun is a heavy barrel Marlin 17HMR. If I could only have one gun that would have to be it. I love my Benelli M1 and M2 20ga for a bunny buster.

Ithaca featherlight 20Ga Mod choke. I hunted with some guys last weekend who used Rossi 410's, youth model, synthetic stock. They were light weight and you could hold them out like a pistol in the thick stuff. I think I will get one.
