Does anyone know of a slug gun under 350 I prefer a 20 gauge but if a 12 is all I got I'll take it and I want to be able to kill a deer at 100 yards and I don't want a single shot
You are asking for quite a lot for under $350, and be able to reach out to 100 yds. You may be able to find a shotgun, with rebates, for under $350. I think Remington has there 870's on rebate now. You will need a good scope separate than what it comes with, if it comes with one. A good scope, recommended/designed to be shot with slugs, will run you around $150+. If you willing to sacrifice and go with a single shot, you will be more in line with what you are looking for. You could also check for used guns as well. I bought a Mossberg 500 combo (slug barrel w/scope and bird barrel) from Dick's Sporting Goods for $379.00, but had to get a better scope. Good Luck.
You can get a Mossberg 500 Combo. It comes with a bird barrel & a rifled barrel with a factory bore sighted scope mounted on it. Dick's Sporting Goods has them on sale now for $350 plus an additional $20 off.
I've got a Mossberg 500 20ga that i bought for around 250 new. Bird barrel only then i found a fully rifled with mounted cantilever scope for $150 from Mossberg. Its our kids/ loaner gun and with Brennekes short field magnums it will shoot nice groups at 100 yards. This past weekend it took deer from 25 yards out. Nephew took a doe at a measured 110 yards with 6" holdover. Your asking for alot for $350 but if you jump up $100-$200 its certainly reasonable. I traded the bird barrel off btw and got 8 boxes of the Brennekes($48 or so) and a sling and swivel set, and a "butt out" deer dressin thingy($9). Be creative and you may get something for $350 or less. Lots of gun on sale now for christmas and hunting seasons winding down.
The Remington 870 express is available in both 12 and 20 gauge. It goes on sale at 299.xx. My Son has one in 12 gauge that he loves. The 26 inch barrel worked fine for his high school trap team. He is now using it for turkeys with a special extra full choke. You can get a rifled choke for the barrel that will help with accuracy shooting the sabot slugs. The problem that you may have is sighting down the vent rib is not as precise as using front and rear fixed sights. My Son has no problems sighting down the rib at 30 to 40 yards for Turkey, you are talking about 100 yard shots. There is a company that makes sights that attach to the vent rib of a shotgun, that will give you a more accurate sight picture for shooting at 100 yards. The shotgun can group slugs at 100 yards, the only question is can the shooter.
here is what I use in shotgun only areas. Remington 870 3" express, Redfield 1.5x5. I know what's with the Browning sling on a Remington? I just like sling!
What kind of accuracy do you get from this mount? In my humble experience these squeeze too much and cause the groups to spread or cause the guns action to stop working.

From my experienced I will like to suggest that you will get slug guns from Safford Sporting Goods at an affordable range. Here you will able to get other products like gun slings, gun safety, choke tubes and many more.
My 870 express will shoot 2" groups at 70 yds using 3" Remington sabots and shooting off the bench. I have a 1.75 X 5 Redfield scope on it. I would have no problem shooting out to 125yds with if a good shot was at hand.
Hello, friends! was in Russia on hunting in this year. Used the Agency POWERINHUNT. No problem! I brought home a bear! Tell me, did someone address them?
