Default Suggestions on a slug gun?

Looking to buy a slug gun, that I can also attach a scope to, and also change barrels for bird shot or skeet. Any body have any great suggestions? Thanks.

Remington 870 super express combo package, you' ll get the rifled slug barrel and ventrib for around $450 depending on your location. Otherwise the Mossberg 500 is a good choice and a little cheaper. The 870 will probably be more available.

I just bought an 11-87 SPS with a 26" Vent Rib barrell and an extra rifled slug barrel. Not a cheap combination, but should be deadly!

I don' t know, just about any of them do the job good. Depends on your pocketbook. You can put a cantilever barrel on all of them with a scope.

870
1187
Browning gold
Mossberg 500
Benelli Nova,
etc, etc

GET THE MOSSBERG MODEL 500 COMBO.....COMES WITH 2 BARRLES. 1 RIFLED CANTILEVER BARREL, AND 1 28" VENT-RIB BARRLE WITH 3 DIFFERENT CHOKES, I WOULD SAY IN THE $300-$350 RANGE. I HAVE 2 OF THEM, 1 IN 12GA., THE OTHER IN 20GA. IF YOU DO, TRY THE LIGHTFEILD SLUGS, ME AND MY FRIENDS ALWAYS HAD GREAT LUCK WITH THEM, ALSO AS FAR AS A SCOPE, I HAVE A BUSHNELL TROPHY SERIES IN 1.75-5, BUT I WILL PUT SAME MODEL SCOPE BUT IN 3-9X40 ON THEM

I hate it when people don' t answer the question, but here I go...

Life is too short to buy dual purpose guns. You NEED two guns. You will be unsatisfied with a dual purpose gun. The only sensible reason for buying a dual purpose gun is because you know it won' t satisfy you and then you' ll have to buy three guns -- the dual purpose gun AND a bird gun AND a slug gun!

Seriously, I was contemplating buying a deer barrel for my Ithaca, but I realized I could get a Mossberg 695 bolt action slug gun desiged for the big magnum slugs, designed to have a scope mounted on the barrel, synthetic stock designed to hack around in the woods, for less $ than a barrel for an Ithaca. A few other manufactures make bolt action slug guns -- Marlin, Browning (I think) Savage. Mossberg got stellar ratings for the price (accuracy matched the more expensive slug guns). Mine likes Winchester Gold Supreme.

And I' d get an Ithaca for your bird gun. They are just fine products.

There are all kinds of good shotguns, but you can' t beat an Ithaca M37. Used ones in great shape don' t cost an arm and a leg, either!!
