New To Slug Guns Need Some Input

[Dan O]

I had a duty Remington 870 with a 20 inch slug barrel that had rifle sights. With 2 3/4 1 oz slugs it shot consistently at 100 yards. I never shot it beyond that distance, but I think it would be good to 150 with the sights that were on it. Recoil was noticeable with the slugs.

Find a new spot. The path of 12ga slug gun hunter is littered with broken dreams, missed shots, and wasted time and money. I hunted with slug guns for over 30 years out of legal necessity. I have since sold all my rifled barrels, my Savage 220 even, and all my slugs. No more! Archery, muzzleloader, and out of state rifle is plenty.

I am trying not to get too specific with where it is but it has to be a shotgun/bow/crossbow. MT does not lump straight walls in. Some areas also allow traditional handguns (straight wall handgun rounds). For my purpose it has to be a shotgun.

You’re not in my neck of the woods are you?! Sounds like we might be hunting the same spot….. lol seriously though…

There are a lot of slugs guns sitting in safes that could probably be picked up pretty cheap in states that recently modified their laws and allowed use of rifles, or straight-wall rifles.
