I also admire the practicality of a combination rifle/shotgun. As a "wilderness shack gun." My ideal of the type would be a 12-gauge 2-3/4" over a .22LR. Cylinder-choked shotgun tube. Shortish barrels. Ready to deal with anything non-deliberate.
Would I ever be likely to carry and shoot it? No.
Would I like having one at hand? Yes. I've watched a (probably) rabid and uniquely intrusive red squirrel try to chew its way into my shack through the aluminium screen door for a few straight days, and I purely wished I'd had a convenient ballistic way of, ahem, elegantly solving the problem. But everything I owned that had a firing pin was 235 kilometres away that weekend.
