Personally is to with the KS7 over the KSG, the extra magazine seems cool, but the more moving parts, the more things can go wrong.

Also consider the Mossberg 590A1 or a Remington 870, can't go wrong with either of those for pumps. For semi, M4 or 1301 are both great options.

I would hold off on a renegade to see if the Makasi makes it to market, and I'd totally skip the backhand hunter. Consider an SKS for a semi, and if you want a PCC, all that's left is the Henry Homesteader.

Also don't forget a .22, the ammo is piss cheap and there's lots of fun ones to plink with.

If you want a long range, I've heard the RPR are ooverpriced for what you get. Look at a Bergara B14 or anything by Seekins
