for the hunting you described,i would get the rem exp super mag.i have one and it has a black synthethic stock and chambered for 23/4-31/2" shells.i would get the 26" barrel and get the different choke tubes for the game you hunt.simply,get the imp cyl tube to shoot slug with.rem offers a rifled slug tube that works fine also.i only use mine to turkey hunt,but if i only could have one gun, this would be the one.
