Dave this will do you for home defence in 12ga or .410 as shown.Combine that with a winnie model 70 chambered in 25.06 or 7x57 and your done :) unless things get real serious in your neck of the woods.Then you could look at a 12ga streetsweeper stuffed to the gills with double o buckshot but i gotta warn ya they make real poor duck shootin guns :)
