Bucksnortinted, my vote is definately with the H & R Ultra slughunter deluxe. I have the 12 gauge version, and would recommend the 20 gauge instead. Cut down on the pounding your shoulder takes. I love my 12, but don't need to be shooting slugs that weight 400 grains, 260 grainers will kill deer just fine.

BOWHUNTERCOP,Sorry I have'nt replied sooner,I am going to go with the H&R Ultra Slug,most of my hunting will be out of a stand or a blind,I can also get a good deal on a nikon prostaff scope which has a good review on it,I can get a 3x9x50 for $149.95 NIB. I want the zeiss conquest 3x9x50 but it's $500.00 and I just don't have the money right now but things could change in a week,buy the way I'm in Muskegon.MI.

FOLLOWER,Sorry I did'nt get back to you in order,I'm not really sure If I would be happy with a 20ga. I think I want that extra ump,just a little more nockdown,Not that there is anything wrong with the 20ga. actually it's probally a little more accurate than the 12ga. but the 12 probally has a lot more nockdown at 150yds. if I was shooting a 100yds. or under I would take the 20ga...............Ted

I thought that H&R 12ga.slug guns kick more than anything else.
Well, you thought wrong. Seeings how the gun weighs roughly 9 pounds the weight alone sucks up plenty of the recoil. In addition, the H&R USHs come with a fantastic recoil pad.

matt is right i have the turkey gun in a 12 now that gun kicks worse than anything, almost nocked my 250 pound uncle over, it weights 6 pounds+ 3 inch turkey load=dead should+dead turkey.

i think the H&R's barrels are made from 10ga. barrel blanks, giving them the extra thickness and weight. i am really considering the purchase of a 12ga. barrel for my encore, i have a 3x9x40 conquest that needs a home would be a great stand gun!
