Grousen

I don't consider myself an expert, but I have been hunting deer for 35 years now. My present deer gun is a Remington 870 Express, 20 gauge, youth model with a rifled barrel. With heavy winter clothes on and sitting still, the shorter stock comes up very easily when cold and stiff. With a 20 ga. sabot slug, you have more than enough for a clean kill, without the recoil, heaviness and bulk that a 12 ga. entails. Can be bought new for less than $300 on sale at Dick's Sporting Goods when on sale in the fall. Good luck, be safe, and shoot straight!
