What I would do is buy the mossberg 835. It shoots 2 3/4's, 3's, and 3 1/2's. Here in Oklahoma academy has them for $238, and it is a great gun. walmart.com sells the rifled barrel with cantilevered scope for $150. It has a bushnell scope....I forget the power but it works great for hogs and deer at 100 yards. Good luck curth83
