Field use for me. Extended weight-conscious hiking/camping trips. To put a rabbit or two in the pot.

I'm assuming single-shots will be MUCH lighter and more compact. But being a single, it would need to be uber reliable.

Takedown packable would be a plus.

12 gauge 2.75" is fine. No need for a 3" chamber.

The NEF single shots are very small/light. Be forewarned, they are MISERABLE to shoot though. I am not a bad shotgun shot, but found I could not hit a thing with one of these. I attributed it to the recoil and abysmal fit.

But it would definitely put a rabbit in the stew pot...

5 lbs. <$200... it's a single-shot break open, I would say go for it.

If all you want is a rabbit a 22 caliber pistol would serve you much better!!!! A 4-5# 12 gauge will hurt you more than it hurts the rabbit!!!!! GH

And shot gun pellets taste like sh&% in my experience.

Ha! I didn't even catch the rabbit part! A 12 ga is definitely overkill. Just get a nice .22 rifle or even a nice pellet gun. Jeez.

Rabbit for the pot was just an example. I am researching a 12G lightweight for a camping jack-of-all-trades. I would also be carrying a 9mm pistol for two-legged defense.
