I've been doing a little research on a few budget 12 gauge shotguns to "beat" around with, use for general home defense (although my go-to home defense shotgun is a 590A1), and just to have a go-to shotgun to throw in the truck or on a four wheeler around the farm if needed. I have made the budget for this shotgun to be around $300, while still wanting a reliable and tough shotgun that could potentially take a little more beating than my average shotguns normally do. I have stumbled across the Rock Island M5. I've seen it as low as $185 on grab-a-gun, and have heard positive things about it. I also was considering the Remington DM in their Magpul and tactical models. I am aware that it is impractical in most aspects, but it would be something different. I am open to any suggestions, and a big thanks in advance.
