[QUOTE="Rakkin6, post: 5872057, member: 23863"] So honestly if you are going to be shooting TSS I would save a couple nickels and go with a 20 gauge. And since you are wanting to use it for deer a 20 gauge slug will still get the job done with a rifled barrel. If you are willing to go with a 20 gauge I would look at the Stoeger 3020 and the Mossberg 500. If you are set on a 12 gauge then the Stoeger 3000 or the Mossberg 500 turkey or 835 are solid choices. I have the Mossberg 535 Turkey Thug and it is maybe the hardest kicking gun I have ever shot. I shot two 3.5" shells out of it and never did that again. In regards to ammo if you are shooting TSS you can't go wrong with APEX or Rogue. If you drove to go with lead in the 12s look no further than Winchester Longbeard XR. Option #2 But yourself a Savage 301 20 gauge and a decent red dot. With the money you save put it up and save a little extra money between now and August and buy a dedicated slug gun. That savage throws some nasty patterns. Attached is a picture of my Savage 301 20 gauge at 40 yards using #9 TSS. Like I said the 535 12 gauge kicks like a mule but with a .660 IC and TSS #9 it throws better patterns than my 835. Savage 20 gauge is top picture and the 535 12 gauge is bottom picture. [/QUOTE]
