Am looking to purchase a Harrington/Richardson or New England Firearms fully rifled bull barrel .12 gauge. Has anyone out there used or know someone who shoots one? Was wondering if they are as accurite as people say? Any thoughts or opinions would be appreciated.thanks

I have not used those particular brands, but I can tell you that mine (Remington 870) with rifled barrel is as accurate as advertised WITH SABOTS. Dont make the mistake some do and shoot pumkin balls or rifled slugs and expect to get great accuracy (its also bad for a rifled barrel). I shoot Winchester 1 oz. sabots and easily get 3-inch groups at 100 yards with open sights and no bench rest. With a scope and bench I have no doubt tight groups would be easy. What you basically have is a 50 cal. rifle and it is DEVASTATING on deer.

Dont know what all ya heard about them but I have the NEF model.Once sighted in you will shoot through the same bullet hole several times.From 100 yards I can hit dead nuts on the bullseye with the 1st shot and the 2nd and 3rd will be almost right in the same hole.Sometimes it is in the same hole and for a second you think you just missed the target.

As with any slug gun the are picky on what bullet they like.Mine loves the activ 2-3/4" slugs but just hates the remington copper solids.My buddies is just the opposite.His loves the remingtons but hates the activs and also his did terrible with federals.

You wont be sorry but a word of caution,this sucker is heavy.Like 11 pounds with a scope on mine..And kicks like a mule..

I do all my hunting out of stands with shooting rails so the weight wont be a problem,just the walk to the stand will be heavy

We have two here. My 12 deluxe and my oldest son's 20. Yes they are accurate as heck!
My 12 loves the Brenneke Gold Magnums (yes they are perfectly fine/safe for the rifled barrel) and my son's 20 is awesome with the Remington Copper Solids.

the 12 guage bull barrel ultra slug gun is awesome!!..with lightfield 2 3/4 hybrids it shoots exceptionally well..its a lil heavy but u get used to it..and idk what pocomoke was thinkin..its heavy weight tames the recoil down so it kicks just a lil more than than a regualr 20 gauge

heres a pic of the deer i got with mine this past nov. i took him at 85 yards freehand shot..dropped him in his tracks with a lightfield hybrid ..its awesome

I have a 12ga. H&R ultra delux and it shoots pretty well. I haven't found a load I like yet though. Mine actually shoots pretty well with rifled slugs. 1-2 inch 3 shot groups at 100 yards with basic winchester 3 inch rifled slugs. You just need to clean the barrel is all.

They are plenty accurate if you find the right load for them. Mine doesn't seem to like the faster rounds though, like the 1900 fps type stuff. They are bit heavy, but handle recoil really well. I shot about 20 rounds out of mine in one sitting and was not sore at all. And I am pretty little, like 130 lbs and 5'3".

Hard to beat for the money really. Keep in mind if you get the 12 ga ultra with the heavy barrel though you can only swap barrels with the 10 ga because that is what reciever it uses. The 20 ga ultra is more versitile if you plan on getting different barrels later.

I've heard so much about the 20's for deer over the years and great things about the H&R's - so I purchased a nice used H&R 20 Ultra.It is the sweetest shotgun I've ever layed my hands on. Gun shop I purchased the gun from stated its good out to 185yrds(if you hit em in boiler room).
Light compared to 12g,low recoil,easy to carry,and a real tack driver! Currently using Lightfields but might try something different next year.

What I really like is ease of loading/unloading. Load it and its safe until you cock hammer.Unload it, leave breach open and you know gun is safe.

WNY, here's the way to go! Gives you thatsecond shot if needed. Load them with Lightfield smooth Barrel Slugs
