One buddy bought an 870 slug gun w/ scope at Bass Pro and I think he said he paid like $350. And my nephew picked up a Mossberg 500 slug gun with rifled barrel and scope, 2 cheek combs, sling mounts and the bird barrel with screw in chokes. It is on sale right now at D i c k s for like $280 (and maybe a $20 rebate too). Now you can't beat that.

If you are going to try D i c k s you best hurry they are famous for only having a few guns and running the sale to get you in the store to buy this and that after they tell you they don't have the sale gun but will give you a raincheck.
