RE: slug gun
1950 - I will try those 3" Federal sabots and see what happens. A little loss in knockdown I think and more $$$ (compared to my Brenneke 3" Gold Mags), but hey, I may learn a thing or two. Can' t be afraid of learning.
High Country - Deluxe is like $35 or $40 more than " standard" . Deluxe gets you the laminated camo finish and checkered stocks, along with a como pattern sling.
Any slight savings you may find on E-Bay would probobly be eaten up by whatever your local gun shop would charge for a receiving fee.
Here is the only drawback I ever found and my solution. THE FRONT SLING SWIVEL is just in the wrong place. It' s gotta be there somewhere but it is in the way. If you rest your finger right against it, it will give ya some hurt on firing.
SOLUTION: I took the front swivel mount off entirely. Adjusted my sling to fit snugly over the barrel and threaded it over the barrel. The sling is adjusted so that it will only slide on/off the barrel when the gun is fully broke open....worked out great.
1" groups aren' t really any kind of a big deal shooting this slug gun from a bench, really, nothing special. It' s a shooter! One needs to believe to achieve.
G-Force - $95.00 for a slug barrel?!?! That' s great! That' s also the cheapest slug barrel I' ve ever heard of, let alone a bull barrel! QUESTION: Did it also come with the scope mounting rail? I wonder if I can get regular barrels to go on the Ultra Slug " receivers" ?
In closing I gotta LOL! at Antler Eater, if ya only wounded a deer with your last slug, you could definately finish em off with that 8-9 pounds of Ultra Slug Hunter............WACK! WACK! WACK![X(]
