My uncle has a Browning A-bolt slug gun for Iowa, shoots like a charm.

When we drew tags in Iowa last year, we didn' t really have a slug gun. We went down, and bought a pair of REMINGTON 870 EXPRESS' S. Synthetic stocks, 26" VR' s and 20" fully rifled, cantilevered slug barrels. For glass, we have Leupold 1-4X shotgun scopes, leupold rings and such. Putting on the nice scopes makes a dif. I ended up shooting a 140 class 9 point with that gun, it performed fine in the cold weather. Stood up to everything i threw at it, cold weather, mud, rain, and yes, even extreme heat(i take it with when i go scouting in the summer, very humid). I got my best groups from the Remington Coppersolid sabots, those things really put the smack down on deer.

I would recommend a Remington 870. Wal mart guns are cheaply made. Big Green(remington) is pretty much all we buy. The remington 11-87 is good too, my uncle used it, worked like a charm.

BTW, we took 5 dandy bucks in iowa, ranging from 130-140 class, and 3 does during First season...3 of 5 bucks fell to Remington 870' s with fully rifled slug barrels in 12 gauge, two from my uncle' s browning, 2 does from an 870, and one too an 1100.

REMINGTON ALL THE WAY!!!
