Hey guys,
Im going to buy a slug gun. I would prefer a 12 guage pump with a cantelivered barrel. Remmington, Winchester, and benelli all make one that would suit my needs. Any feed back on these? is there anything I should avoid? Ive got a few first time hunters coming to the deer hunt this year. Most shots will be 50yrds or less and 100yrds would be the extreme. I just want to get something thats easy to use and relatively cheap. These guys have all fired shotguns with me so I figure they will be most comfortable with a slug gun.

Cheers,

Sean
 
I found the inexpensive Rem 870 express with the smoothbore to be accurate enough using standard lead slugs. It prints about 6 inch groups at 100. I assume the rifled vers. would be more accurate.

If you can live with a singleshot, H & R makes a very accurate rifled slug gun. A heavier gauge diameter barrel s used to make the 12 guage slugger.
 
First time hunters can be intimidated by the recoil from slugguns, and it takes practice to be proficient with a sluggun at any range. :idea:
All of the slugguns you mentioned will perform well if you find the right sabot for them. :wink:
 
870 Express with rifled barrel using Winchester Platinum Sabot slugs open sights. I have used for 5 years all bucks came within 25 yards and never went more then 5ft.
