[QUOTE="Reprobait, post: 212864, member: 777"] At that range I don't think I would want to use a bird-barrel with just a bead on it. If you can get a barrel with a cantilever scope mount on it for a gun you have now, you won't have to monkey around with mounting a scope to your receiver. Iowa, Wisc, Mich, and Ohio have backed off laws mandating slug guns in recent years. There might be some good used stuff out there. I have a Savage 220 bolt action. (20ga). It has the Accutrigger and shoots well. I also have a 12 ga 870 with a scope mounted on a cantilever mount. That one shoots nearly as well as the Savage. I shot my doe last year at about 75yds with it using a Hornday SST reduced recoil slug. The slug kind of disintegrated. I am going to see how it shoots Remington copper slugs next time I get to the range. I also picked up Winchester SXP 20 ga slug gun in the off season. I shot it enough to get on the paper and am waiting for the weather to break and take it to the range again. The trigger assemblies on the 870 and SXP have both been reworked by Accuracy Speaks. I do hunt in the slug zone in MN every year, but it is kind of a challenge to me trying to get the most I can out of a slug gun. [/QUOTE]
