Winchester 1300 Defender

[Don'tkillbill]

Took my latest addition out to the range. Found it took some getting used to. The rotary bolt of the Winchester 1300 felt strange at first but boy its a fast action. Yeah I know I gained 30 pounds in the last 7 months I guess its PT, light beer and carrot sticks for this kid. A nice alternative to the 870 and Mossbergs and boy it looks good with a birch stock.

7+1 in 2 & 3/4.. Ahh just watch the video for the details.

Looks great! Never shot one myself. Hope to though.

All pump guns are fun! Try many you might get addicted. Thanks for watching!

I've been shooting a Winchester 1300 in the sporting clays game for the last ten years. Fastest and smoothest pumpgun I know of. Me and that Winchester have made it to "A" class and have never felt inadequate standing next to stack barreled shotguns.

Your link doesn't work but I searched the link on youtube and here's your video. These riot guns are known to be quite good, with a lineage from the indestructible Model 12.

Very nice. I have the exact same one that I purchased in the 80's or 90's. Shot it once and put it away. Perhaps it's time once again to take it out! Great vid!

Winchester 1200 Defender was the first firearm I ever bought when I first got my FAC (1983) still have the old girl to this day. She's the only gun I own that will be hard to part with.

Super fast and super smooth. Fine shotguns!

 

[Don'tkillbill]

I think I need to take it out tonight and shoot some steel targets at the range and try slugs.

 

[Jonny_Cannon]

Yep. Still got one. I'm trying to find another because I have a ton of accessories for it, but they are still pretty pricey.

Wish I could fine one of these in 20 ga. Would make an ideal shotgun for the wife.

Tried most of the popular pumps, but I still keep going back to my 1300. It eats anything it's supposed to chamber and cycles like a hot knife on butter!
