I’m thinking of buying a Slug Gun this year, but I don’t know much about them. Anybody out there that shoots a shotgun with slugs for deer hunting let me know what you’re opinions on them are and what kind of range y’all get with them. Thanks for the help.

While I like my H&R, if I was going to buy one now it would be the Ithaca or Savage.
Sideline (which can help the OP) - What kind of recoil pad do you guys have on your slug guns? My H&R has one but it's still a friggin' jackhammer to shoot, even in a sled. Limbsaver? Something else?

I've shot the Savage and rung targets to 200 yards. That's impressive. Any idea how much drop there is at that distance?

Yeah. It is a beast to shoot my 12 ga lthica Model 37. If recoil is an issue for you, might want to go with a 20 ga

Lightfield slugs. Probably a couple inches at least. It's been four or five years. Squeeze, boom, wait wait wait wait, clang!

I kinda like having the Ultra, though, since it was made before Remington's parent company bought H&R and phucked up everything left, right and center. Also, if I need to kill someone by beating them to death with the Ultra it would only take a couple of blows. It's heavy.

Get a Savage 220 or 212 if you are budget conscious. Can't go wrong. If you want the true cadillac of non-custom slug guns, get the Browning A-bolt 12 gauge. All 3 are tack-drivers with the right slug (always start with both variants of Remington Accutip slugs).

I've killed two bucks at 140 and 160 yards with my Browning silver hunter. 300 grain hornady slugs knocks em down. Like being hit by a train.

Ballistics on the 20ga are way better than the 12 ga.
I bought a rifled slug barrel with scope mount for my 20ga 870.
I get 5-6" groups at 100 yards, that's with the short youth barrel.
