[QUOTE="WunderDog, post: 189773, member: 3836"] Being from a New York shotgun slug only area (have exploited the exceptions with muzzleloading and handguns) I have a bit of experience with getting slug guns to shoot well. BD hits the nail on the head when talking about scope mounts. The problems is when the scope is mounted to the receiver but the barrel is firmly fixed to the receiver, e.g. Rem 11-87. I am also of the opinion that a cantilever mount is not an adequate solution for guns that kick this hard. The Savage 210 bolt action slug gun is a very accurate gun for the money. I could keep Winchester Partition Golds consistently at an inch with that gun. It is a dedicated slug gun with the barrel threaded to the receiver so any scope mounting is identical to a rifle. Another gun that does well in an auto is the Benelli Super Black Eagle. The receiver actually swaps out with a barrel switch as one piece of metal. The rifled slug barrel is tapped for scope mounts so the scope stays right with the barrel. As far as slugs, in addition to the Partition Golds, we have also had good luck getting the Hornady SSTs to shoot well in a number of guns. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
