    How are these guns with slugs? Are they point of aim accurate, or is there always some type of hold you have to learn? Really would like one that could throw slugs 25-75m away reasonably close

    Was shooting slugs at the range today out of my versamax. With that particular load; I was grouping about 4" - 6" to the right and 3" low on a 100 yard target using the bead and f/o front sight to aim. Modified Choke was still in.

    Dan,

    I too have had good results with slugs. I've done so with both a modified choke and a slightly more open "skeet 2" I use more often. Even with the relatively crude sights, I did OK. The guns can be zeroed too with slugs. That was done when I got my modifications. My gun was dead on and shoots just 1.5 inches high at 50 yards. It's not a rifle but still capable of centre of mass hits at reasonable distance. While not a tack driver, anything hit by a 12 ga slug is going to show you mucho respect. From what I've read, you can use slugs with up to a modified choke and even a full without doing damage. The cautious position would be to stay with modified or wider.

    I shoot low-recoil slugs for competition as the full loads get a little old with rapid fire shots unless you are a gorilla.

    You're going to be happy Dan. I hope we have a few shotgun events at Waterford and Silverdale this year. Maybe we can hook up for a FTF after these several years.
