I have the Ultra Deluxe in 20ga, topped off with a Leupold VX-II using Remington Accu-Tip 3" shells, tack driver, only my Savage 220f with the same scope and ammo is slightly better. The 20ga is perfect for deer/bear size game, I would opt for the 3" shell over the 2-3/4".....with todays high tech shotguns and ammo, there is no need to subject yourself to the recoil of the 12ga
