I'll be hunting deer with slugs, but I've been told to stick with 12 ga. by everyone I've spoken with so I am thinking I am going to go with that. I am located in Ohio and can use the rifled barrel. I'll be hunting deer, turkeys, and bird with this shotgun.
Now, I've been told mossberg guns are like yugos and aren't worth anything. I am leaning towards ithica, remington and benelli at this point since I can get a nice benelli pump for about $325.
Hopefully that gets you the information needed to help me out
