    Default Winchester 1300

    I am seeking info on the Winchester 1300. Were they always made 100% in the U.S.? I have heard some people reference a dislike for them relative to other common shotguns (ie 870, 500) with no explanation why. Any advantages or disadvantages in comparison to the 870 or 500? If you have owned and/or shot them, as well as an 870 or 500 for comparison please help me out. Somehow I've used Remington, Mossberg, and Benelli, but not Winchester.

    My father gave me his shotgun for hunting. He doesn't really hunt anymore so I'm looking at getting him one purely for home defense. So availability of extra barrels, chokes, and other stuff aren't really a factor.
