if YOU need foraging gun, so will hundreds of other people in your area, many of whom will be quite willing to shoot YOU, for whatever "reason". So forget about the single shots, bolt actions, over/under combos. They don't do a damned thing that a good autoloader wont do, and they are woefully inferior at stopping a fleeing critter, hitting his nearby buddy before HE can flee (assuming a good silencer) and they are next to worthless if you have to fight men, or even ambush more than one man.
