I've been looking for a pump shotgun for pheasant, duck, geese, turkey, trap, and home defense. I'm down to two finalists in my search:

1) Winchester 1300, excellent condition, 28" barrel, screw in chokes, handles up to 3"shells, $250.

2) Remington Wingmaster, fair condition with some rust, 28" barrel, fixed full choke, 2 3/4" shells only, $200.

I understand that the fixed full choke is not ideal for my use and that I would need to get an additional barrel for my needs. Also the limit of smaller shells is less versatile. Is that a good enough deal on a Wingmaster to make its limitations worth it? Thanks for the help.
