RE: slug gun
ORIGINAL: hossdaniels  Savage 10 ML ll. I know, I know, its not a slug gun, but I've never seen a 300 yd slug gun, or a slug gun shoot under 1" groups. Dont overlook ML'sif you are worried aboutrange. The black and blue one goes for about $500. My puttycat load is a piddily 40grs of imr4759 and a 250 gr SW / 2000FPS! Low recoil , 1.5MOA, and drops deer! Ive loaded as much as 44grs and cronied 2400FPS! No cleaning ,No smoke! Its is heavy at 11lbs w/ scope though. but most shotguns and MLs are on the heavy side though. |
RE: slug gun
No, streching honest. 4-5" groups at 300 yds, and only 20" of hold over. 250 yds is a gimme with this thing.60g n120 and a 300g .458 barnes original at 2300fps will do it.

If I was out west I'd probably practice regularly at that range. It really is amazing though what the Savage is capable of. BTW sorry to HIjak guys. |
RE: slug gun
ORIGINAL: Hurricanespg ORIGINAL: piketon_hunter#9 ORIGINAL: Hurricanespg For a dedicated slug gun a H&R Slug Hunter would hit in your price range and would do a lot better job than the 870. I'm not dissing any other shotgun out there, just stating that it would be easier to get better accuracy at longer ranges withoneof the H&R slug gunsthan with an 870, or pretty much any other pump or auto out there. i like the h&r slug guns, and the bolt action slug guns, but i do a lot of drives during our gun season and follow up shots are important to me. i would probably use my muzzleloader if such wasnt the case |
RE: slug gun
What sort of scope base system does the H&R use?? Is it drilled and tapped for a rail? Thats one of the drawback with the 870, 1100 or Mossberg. You need to buy a cantilever barrel if your gonna put glass on it. I just never had real good luck with the side saddle scope bracket.
Another question... Does the H&R have a heavy slug barrel or pretty much a regular shotgun wall? It sure can't weigh anymore than my 1187 SP. That things a tank!! Thinking on an H&R myself. What the bottom line?$$$$  |
RE: slug gun
is price wasn't an issue what is the best slug gun?

RE: slug gun
hoss; I'm afraid that Outdoor Life did not do much proving of anything in their test.
moss; The best slug gun is going to be subjective, but I would cast a vote for Tar Hunt. |
RE: slug gun
Didn't prove anything, true. But the 12ga's were more accurate, and that was alot of rounds. I've always heard 20's were more accurate.

RE: slug gun
My 20 gauge USHcame with the weaver style base on it . My uderstanding is that the 20 gauges have 12 gauge barrels and the 12 gauge have 10 gauge barrels...drilled for their gauge. So yes they are a heavy barrel. Now this is on the Ultra Slug Hunter models.
