Price check: H&R slug gun

I think that Epps' prices are in line and they have both 12 or 20 .... the USH is heavy and a 20ga would be more practical.

Check out the trigger should you decide to acquire one as many among those can be heavy. The one on mine is great though...a bit over 3lbs.

Thanks for your info!
Which one you have settle on and how is it?
What kind of accuracy am I expect to get?
Thx

just make sure you get the ultra not the tracker. The tracker can't be drilled and tapped for a scope.
USH DLX 20ga ......afraid I haven't had an opportunity to shoot that yet as I picked up a ML Rifle early Fall and used that instead during 2009 season. I've mounted a 2-7x33 Leupold Shotgun/ML scope with a Circle-X reticle that I picked up used.....planning to test that in a couple of weeks time.
ShotgunWorld dot com (Slug Hunter's Forum) has generally good reviews on the USH.
If there is no urgency, waiting for the Savage 220 (bolt) to arrive in the new year may be a good idea. I hope that they will soon offer the model dressed in an Accustock.

I was looking at the 220f too but they are not in Canada yet and I thought about the 210f in the beginning but since the 220f has vast improvement over the 210f I abandoned the idea.
Actually I am not in big hurry for one I am curious to see how well a 220f handle but since the h&r is so affordable I am just trying to find an excuse to get myself something that's all
I will mount scope and that's the plan but I am also thinking of adding opening sight too so may be a trip to my gunsmith is require.

the H&R slug hunters are a really good value.
if youre buying one though, ask if they have any used. ive seen used ones go as low as $150 at Epps - perhaps because the resale value on single shots seems pretty poor, and everyone wants a semi or pump.
personally, if i had to hunt in a shotgun only area, i cant think of anything more ideal (for the money) than a slug hunter with something like a 2-7x32 scope on it.
