[QUOTE="rich56, post: 1306002, member: 16167"] I have a Remington 870. I use low powered rifle scopes and Remington extended rifled choke. 20" barrel with saddle scope mount. Keeping it simple Sabot type slugs did not work Federal Truball slugs worked for me as did the cheaper Brenneke slugs Be thinking about 1 1/2" groups @50 yds. IIRC 1" high at 50 yd would be 1 or 2" low at 100yd. Where I hunted, western NYS was "shotgun only territory"untill recently therfore the research I did. I never did "connect" using the shotgun but that wasnt the guns fault. Because of terrain my distance is limited to about 75 yds. I would be no better served by any rifle. Friend of mine used a smoothbore Mossberg 500, used Winchester rifled slugs out to 75 yds. Always one shot kills for him. I'd try the TruBall and Winchester, Brenneke, All in one ounce flavor.
