Maybe their not as discussed as much because folks don't have to mortgage their house to buy one. I use a 1300 Defender with a barrel cut and threaded for Rem chokes in steel plate competetion. I think it is the fastest pump out there. I've used 870s and my 1187, they are great guns also. I've shot many rounds from that gun, pumping it and shooting it as fast as I can, and it has never let me down.

People buy on emotion, then justify their purchase to themselves and others with logic.
Those who spend alot of money will spend much effort justifying their purchase. Not much bragging can go into spending $200 bucks on a hard wood stocked shotgun.

I think the 12/1300 Winchester is a good value for what I use it for. It ain't no Benelli but it gets the job done, and it allows those of us who are not rich to get into the shotgun games.
