I currently have a 20 gauge Mossberg 500 Bantam. It has a 12" LOP which is great for my small stature, and I can swap barrels on it at will (I have a 24" rifled barrel which shoots Accutip slugs < 2 MOA, a 26" smoothbore with choke tubes, and an 18" barrel it wears in my safe with #3 buck in the magazine).
My only issue is the "rattle" that a pump action forend gives. I hate the idea of using it for turkey and for deer I am afraid it makes too much noise also. I also feel like I need a 12 gauge in my safe, in order to be able to participate on invitation hunts and have better access to various specialized hunting loads that are unavailable in 20 ga.
Is there a semi auto that:
- Has a "Youth" LOP
- Swap (available on the market) barrels by hand in less than 10 minutes at home
- Has rifled barrels available
- Gets good reviews (unlike for instance the CZ 720 reduced length)
- Less than <$1000 for initial shotgun and 2nd barrel
Thank you!
