RE: Best slug gun under $1000
I love my Gold Slug gun. Like my 11-87 ok, and can't forget my 870 that has been there long before my semis. Can't talk bad about her (870express), since she served me for years.
You really don't need a semi for a slug gun. A pump is good enough. But the semis take a bite out of the 12Ga 3" slugs.

RE: Best slug gun under $1000
I have to say the Remington 11-87 special purpose fully rifled cantilever scoped deer gun. Mine shoots touching groups at 50 and 2-1/2" groups at 100, equipped with a Leupold M8-2.5 fixed heavy duplex scope. It took me a long long time to find the right ammo and for mine it's Federal's 3" Barnes Expander. I shot just about every slug under the sun. Can't go wrong with this gun in my opinion. I'm sure you know shotguns are very finicky on what slug they like to spit out, so don't be depressed if you shoot a lot of different brands before you come up with a winner. With the price of slugs this can be costly. Hopefully your first choice in slugs will shoot right on! At $11.00 a box of 5 for the Federals (that's when I could mail order, the confused state of Massachusetts no longer lets us order ammo thru the mail, now at the gunshop they are $15.00 per box of 5!), needless to say it's not something I shoot much paper with. I go to the range a few times a year with it and shoot a couple boxes and it's always right there. I save the practice for the rifles I reload. Good Luck in your search and no matter which gun you choose, to obtain optimum groups, you're going to need to find the right slug.............John

well for me its my Remington 11-87, special purpose topped off with a Leupold 3-9x40
If you like the pumps then for the money look at the Mossberg 500 slug gun, me and to other friends have them, and they all shot great using Lightfield slugs...Also all i hear is great things about the single shot H&R
