Buy recommendations Compact 12GA Pump Recommendations?

Hey y’all, I recently got my PAL and I’ve been looking for a compact (14”~ barrel) 12GA 3”

pump shotgun with a telescoping stock and a rail for optics.

I don’t want to spend too much, so right now my top contenders are the Huglu Victor P-Tac or the Canuck Commander.

I also considered the EGE Panzer Arms Raider XII (or similar folding pumps), but I wasn’t fond of the reduced magazine capacity and relatively unproven design.

And recommendations or tips?

Do mention what your intended use is. Horses for courses.

Mainly random target shooting and incase something goes bump in the night iykwim. Don't intend to hunt and I'm going to get a semi-auto later on for clays.

target shooting is one thing, but for a just in case situation you have to ask yourself if the potential to you life is worth saving $500 over something with better know reliability. personally id never trust my life to Turkish shotguns
