Our Assessment: You may not know the Stevens Model 77A, but everyone does know the sound it makes when you bring a shell into battery. The pump action shotgun is certainly the best defensive weapon available, and if you only own one gun, I would strongly suggest it be a pump action shotgun. It’ll put food on the table for the family and keep everyone else out, and this gun will do all of that on a budget.
CA Legal or CA Private Party Transferable: This shotgun can be transferred in California.
