Not another squidly!

I am 16 yr Army vet, so had to take the poke. I like the 870 super mag combo that I bought a few years back, but that type of package limits you to a shotgun for deerhunting. You could look at the Stevens, made by savage and pick one up in a .270 or .30-06 for a reasonable price and then buy a single shot shotgun as well.
I have very limited experience with the combo guns, so could not given you a solid suggestion. Browse the guns stores and pawn shops and you will find something. Good luck and thanks for your service.
