RE: H&R Ultra Slug Hunter
Intresting that you are asking now about H&R USHs - especially the 20 gauge. I usually use my 12 gauge USH Deluxe and am as happy as could be. I used to use a Mossy 500 12 gauge with the smooth bore rifled sight slug barrel. I bought that as a combo at Sears years ago. I still have the 159.00 receipt I the old box. Could go good to about 75 yards with Sluggers and I killed alot of deer with that gun. Then I bought the USH 12 and have never looked back, buying another in 20 gauge for one of my sons. (There will most likely be more added too - I have 3 boys.)
When a nephew needed a slug gun I put a Mossberg cantilever/ported barrel on that sameMossy 500 and it shoots BuckHammers very well. Deer to 100 yards should beware.
For some reason or another I took the 20 USH out for last day of our late deer season. Guess I just wanted to try something other than my 12. Sitting at the base of a tree with a shooting stick I took a doe at just over 150 yards out in a bean field and she dropped right down. (She gotback up a few seconds later to take a couple drunken steps but then dropped for good). Full pass thru.
During 1st season I shot another at 190 yards with my 12 and I'll tell you that Brenneke 3" Mag tore that deer up.
