I finally won something in a raffle. A Shotgun.

The Durham County GOP had a raffle. They would give away one gun a day through May.  $30 a ticket.  They texted me that I had won a Winchester Defender pump action 12ga. I was so excited.  I picked up the shotgun and bought 100 rounds of 00 buck shot.  Unfortunately, I just had my shoulder replaced and cannot shoot it until September.  I have a few shotguns but not a 12ga pump.  This Defender is made in Turkey. I have a Remington Wingmaster 16ga that I have had since the 1960s. It is smooth as butter and will rack a shell with one hand. When I raise it to my shoulder I am automatically looking down the barrel. It is a beautiful shotgun that has put a lot of meat on the table. This Defender......not so much.  I am 6'2" and I have to reach for the forearm to rack the slide.  There is nothing smooth about this shotgun.  I could buy a new stock for it but that would cost as much as the gun is worth.  I think it needs some breaking in, so in September I'm going to run that buck shot through it.  It is camouflaged, so I got that going for me.
