I'll tell you what I told you over at Predator Masters. Get a Benelli M2 with a +2 magazine extension. You'll either be out of coyotes or yardage before you are out of shells.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Seems like “great timing” to get a heckuva deal on an “AR shotgun”. Maybe pick up a couple thousand rounds of 223 at the local Cabelas, and 8-10 bricks of 22 LR, whole you’re at it.....
Whatever you find (if anything), I wouldn’t think about it too long.
Let us know how it goes....

Why bother. An AR in 5.56 will do both jobs better and be far more reliable.

Stab them in the taint, you can't put a tourniquet on that.

The box fed shotties tend to be problematic. I shot the Panzer (AR) and the Lynx (AK). Plenty of guys have luck, but enough people have problems that I’m convinced it’s hit or miss....that’s why I got the Tavor TS12. Its a toy, but its a pretty awesome dedicated assault shotgun.
lvmiker really has a good point. That 20ga will do HD just fine. Getting another shotgun seems like a duplicated effort. A 16” AR-15 is darn near perfect for a budget varmint gun while extending your HD capabilities.
Just my 2 cents.

Had a saiga and it was very cool for range or combat style uses.
Traded it for a Benelli sbe2 and added +4 extension which I don’t leave on all the time. Added a pistol grip stock For turkey and predator and a ff2.
It serves me well duck, coyote, or turkey hunting.
Brother has the AR style( not sure which brand). It wasn’t cheap I do know that
The benelli is better and he agrees. His isn’t very smooth cycling or reliable.

I quit shooting 3 Gun matches because the shotgun portion turned it into an equipment and loading contest. Rifle and pistol can be won by the best shooter/athlete. An AR is probably the closest thing to an all around gun. Will kill anything from africans to Polar Bears.
