Right. The Aussies are making a copy pf the 1887/1901 Lever Action Winchester, if they ever get them here they would be sweet.
As far as pumps, Marlin's model of 1898 technically qualifies as legal, though ask anyone and they will tell you they are unsafe to shoot. I concur. So it does leave the 97 Winchester as ‘the' gun. Personally, I don't think of any pump shotgun as ‘cowboy'.
As for SXS's I stared with a Stoeger, and still use it as a backup. They are a fine choice. Remember you can pick up a used gun like a Stevens 311 or something too. If it has ejectors, as opposed to extractors, they can usually be disabled to make the gun legal. I like mule-eared guns myself. They are a little trickier to be fast with, but the look great.
