just because you said an "all around" gun i would say the 870 since its a repeater. H&R's are tack drivers in the slug world tho. but my 870WM with a hastings barrel is also very accurate out to 100 shooting buckhammers and hastings slugs

I guess it depends on what kind of hunting you do. If you stalk hunt the 870 is a better choice, if you still/stand hunt the H&R is better. All around I would go with the 870. I primarily hunt deer from a fixed/stand position soI hunt with an H&R Ultra Slug Hunter Deluxe 12ga....very accurate slug gun....very.

i would say the H&R because i like single shots, if you are only using it for deer, go with the single if you might decide sometime to use it for birds or rabbits or somthing go with the 870

I have both, and I prefer my H&R The 870 kicks like a raped mule, but it is good for deer drives (multiple shot's)

Im a fan of the one shot one kill method

I thought that H&R 12ga.slug guns kick more than anything else.

Given the "all around" requirement, I'd have to say the 870. I both stand hunt by myself and group hunt. I love the H&R, but when a group is driving a herd past...multiple shots/multiple deer.

well so far I have an awesome bird gun,so I realy don't need the combo I know the 870 is a good gun but 99% of my hunting would be off a stand,and I could save alot of money going with the H&R also.........Ted
