I bought a Remington 870 with the rifled slug barrel several years a go. put a 3-9 Leupold on it. It shoots 2" groups at 100yds with Hornady SST 300grain Sabots. I have only shot 1 doe with it but I have loaned it to a friend for him and his son to use in Illinois several times. They have killed some monsters with it. They had a muzzle loader and borrowed my 870. They started arguing about who was going to get to use the 870. They wanted to buy mine but I wouldn't sell so they both went out and bought their own. They have killed with it out to 170yds and love the quick backup availability. No clean up either.
