Nothing wrong with a lever gun either. 16" barrel. As short as any shotgun. A little more multipurpose on a ranch. 30-30 or .44 are big hitters, but easy to manage and control. More so then 12 guage.

Not fancy. Easy to use. Reliable. Not on anyones "evil gun" list.

Lots of advantages to a pistol and lever gun combo.

ps - I can short chuck and SKS pretty far...

Isolated ranch? Some carbine in 223, 7.62x39, 357mag (lever), 44mag (lever), 30-30 (lever), 9mm, 45acp, or even 30 carb.

The first two offer great versatility for a ranch gun. Not to mention cheaper ammo, less recoil, and better accuracy than a shot gun.
