The H&R with out a doubt!!! I shoot the H&R in 12ga, it is just a pleasure to shoot, so damn accurate. My two boys shoo the H&R in 20ga and I believe their guns are better deer guns than mine. They shoot 2 3/4" lightfields, which throw out a 1 ounce slug. The 20ga's shoot so flat, no recoil and deadly accurate. Go with the H&R!
