Isn’t the Winchester Defender spin off of the ‘97?
Haven’t seen then in the stores for awhile. As Justin Wilson kind of used to say:
When the game warden is around it shoot 3 times.
But when the game warden be not around.
It shoot 8 times.
Defender, and all Winchester 1300 variants are more a continuation of the Model 12. They were discontinued, with the Model 94 and Model 70 some years ago. Some ‘70’s came back. I think the current Winnie pump is the SXP.
Looks like several Defender models available.
