Well my girlfriend says she wants to come hunt deer and hogs with me this year. I'm cool with it but I refuse to by another rifle considering I'm building an AR already. Therefore she'll be using my .308 when we go together. That leaves me with my cheap Stevens 320 20 gauge. I'm torn between buying mostly slugs or #2 buck. I'm comfortable knowing all my shots will be close so which do y'all recommend ?

I’ve tried but I’m never gotten a good pattern with 20- ga. Buckshot.

Or a 450 Bushmaster upper. Same size bullet as a 20ga sabot slug, good bit faster and a hell of alot more accurate.

Slug only. A big hog can soak up a lot of buck shot without being hurt.

I've killed several deer with both. I'd get slugs.


I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Not necessarily the case. 20ga slug holes touching at 100 yards is pretty damn accurate.


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Why not use the AR you are building?

Why not give her the 20 gauge. Then your problem is solved.
