Default RE: NEF Ultra Slug Hunter in 12 gauge

Although I don't own one,I have shot quite a few. They are in the top of class when it comes to accuracy. If cost is an issue they are #1. Like all rifled slug guns, expect to do some work at the range with expensive sabots if you really want to ring the accuracy out it.
My biggest issue with them is the weight. They are fine for sitting in a stand. However I like to stalk on occasion. I could not imagine spending a few hours carrying one. On another post someone stated that there is a weight in the butt stock that can be removed. I am not sure this is true, actually I think it unlikely. It does not really matter because if that weight is necessary to keep it balanced the way it is designed you would not want to take it out anyway. The gun would be so barrel heavy as to be laughable.

If you would consider other guns here are the best...Tar Hunt 2000$...Browning A-bolt 1200$.....Savage 210 350$....Mossberg 695 200$...Marlin Slugmaster 180$.

I have shot every one of the guns mentioned so far except for the Tar Hunt and the Marlin. I currently own the Browning A-bolt and a Savage 210. I have found that the best all around value/accuracy is the Savage 210. With a rest I can get 1in groups at 100yds with Remmington Core Lokt ultras with this gun.

Here is my current set up on the Savage...
