Buy recommendations Best 2 in 1 gun

What’s the best gun for someone who’s looking to have a good animal defence weapon in places like the Yukon and northern BC. But also fun at the firing range. I just did my PAL course recently I still have to wait until I actually can apply for it. But in the meantime I’ve been looking at guns for fun it seems like my best option would be a lever action rifle that’s 30cal or bigger or some kind of pump action shotgun that can shoot slugs.

Thank you

Mossberg 590 for all-out, M88 for budget

I looked up the m88 online people have nothing but good things to say about it. Why is it so cheap lol ? This seems like a really good option. Cheap and reliable is perfect.

Some parts are made in Mexico and the factory uses Mexico labour. Pumps are usually cheap because the simple mechanism and less parts. I have a 88 and it gets the job done. Can’t complain.
