Default Which slug gun?

Well, I have narrowed my choices down to 3 slug guns. I plan to hunt mostly from a stand, but being in Iowa, I'm sure the inevitable drive will come into play. Following are the guns I would choose from and my justification for each. Keep in mind that price is a big contributor to my choice as you offer your critique

1. HR Ultra w/ scope ($285 w/scope): Very accurate from stand, questionable weight, time to aquire target, and single shot for drives.
2. HR Tracker II 20ga ($135): Light, probably accurate but sights versus scope. Single shot would be its main down fall on drives
3. Mossberg 500 ATS ($285): Multi-shot good for drives.

My sense is to go with the Ultra or Tracker II and use my Benelli Nova for drives. What do you think?

I would want the best accuracy reasonably possible. To me that means a scoped gun...... so the tracker is out.
I also believe that as a general rule pump guns are not as accurate as bolt actions or single shots........so thatrules out the Mossberg.
That leaves you with theUltra.

Wouldn't be my choice, but out of those three I think it is the best.

Not to make the decision harder, but this should at least be another consideration....used Savage 210...325$

I would go for the H&R ultra slug hunter, I have the deluxe model that has the laminate stock, and I have millet rings and a Khales 4x scope, and she is very accurate, we can hunt with rifles, and shotguns, but i still pick the shotgun over every one of my deer rifles, its just a neat gun, id recomened it
