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

It is heavy. Nova 3 or a mossberg 500 is what I would look at. They feel different to operate so you should go see some in person when you get your PAL
