The MAKASI is what everyone wants right now. Skip the straight pull and backland hunter.

Don't buy either of those shotguns imo. If you want a tactical shotgun and want a pump, either buy a Mossberg 590 or a Remington 870, or if you want semi-auto buy an Italian, either a Beretta A300 Tactical, Beretta 1301, or a Benelli M4.

I don't know enough about precision rifles to say anything about the Ruger. What I can say is that you should also probably look at getting some sort of .22lr gun too, and maybe a longer barrel shotgun for clays if they have clays where you live, either a quality O/U or an A300/A400.
