Mostly, after some of the craziness I have seen you write when you first joined this forum. I generally try to steer clear of anything you write.

Actually I did post something relavant. I explained I am not a huge hastings fan, with of course some tag along right after me, posting something to the contrary. It gets so old after a whiel.

Well there you go Bigcountry, I applaud you for that......youfinally admitted you hold some strange grudge against me because you didn't agree with a post I made months ago.Well I'm sorry for that.

Now that everything is out in the open, lets both get back to enjoying this forum for what it is.

If you look that the price of an aftermarket barrel from Remington, you couldput just an extra $100 or so out and get the 12 ga. Express Synthetic Monte Carlo with the 23 in. "Super Slug" barrel. It's a lot easier to get 12 ga. rifled slugs. Or does the 12 weigh and/or kick too much?

DJDJ...you are absolutelty right. Then you open a whole new discussion though....

Thanks to all the replies guys. djgj200, no I have no proble shooting a 12, but I love my little 20 for deer hunting, plus I do not wanna pay a 100 bucks more anyway. 20 gauge slugs of all kinds are a sinch to find in my area. Hopefully for next fall I will have a slug barrel, but for this year I will used rifled slugs again. Thanks again, take care, Spencer.
