Anyone own or like these? Many shotgunners disdain them and as so, they can sometimes be found at bargain prices. I have owned a few over the years, I still have a 12ga J.C.Higgins(Sears) version of a High Standard one. I'd like to pick up a 16ga and especially a .410 version eventually maybe.
My 20ga I sold to someone who never paid me for it
Mossberg did/does make a modern version for slug hunting and at one time marketed a sort of riot version of a bolt action shotgun!
I generally prefer then to single shot shotguns, I kind of think of then as a single shot shotgun with ammo in reserve, one drawback being one must remove hand from trigger area to chamber a new round. Also I'd be embarassed to bring one to a trap range
