Now you have sparked my curiousity. What possible advantage can you see a short bolt gun having over a #1 Ruger or Highwall? I had a friend who could get 2 and 3 shots at birds with an old beatup single shot shotgun. He carried shells between his fingers and was almost as fast as a pump gun. Good light #1 Ruger should work the same way. My short gun is a 600 350 Remington mag. Have two of them. If you want something impressive get a high quality samari sword
