In my honest opinion after owning one I don't think they are any more accurate than an 870 or 500 when properly set up. Not that they are bad guns by any means, just I don't think they are the ultra accurate weapons people believe them to be. They still have the same twist rate as most other shotguns (slow).

I know plenty of people that have 870 and mossberg 500's with cantilever barrels that shoot groups as good as most H&Rs do. I am talking 1.5-2 inch groups at 100 yards off from a bench. The trick is finding what your gun likes I think.

You feed a H&R ultra ammo it doesn't like and it won't be very impressive in the accuracy department.

Mine was MUCH better on recoil because of the weight though and it had a nicer trigger than most shotguns.

Buy it !!!!!I have owned lots of slug guns, some better then others, but none have come near my H&R, and the price is great

I have a 20ga H&R Ultra Slug Thumbhole stock. Groups of 1" or less with 3" Federal Vital Shock with the ballistic tip Barnes Expander.Most rifles can't do that.
