I was milling today. In a gunshop.
I saw and handled two shotguns new to me, though I have read a review of one.
Are these good buys? Both are older guns in very good condition.
Marlin model 43 pump gun - $225 - comes up to my eye like it was made for me.
The other is a Winchester model 59 - a very nice and very light gun. $495. Mounts nicely. I can imagine walking the upland with this gun.
I don't "need" another gun but, gosh......
