I'm looking to buy a new slug gun. i've looked at the Remington 870 with cantilever barrel and a Mossberg 930 with a cantilever barrel. I'm looking to spend between 400 to 600 dollars. Any other guns or ideas would be great!

2002 Dodge Ram 2500 CTD QC/SB, Atlantic Blue, 4x4, NV5600, HRVP44, custom cold air, custom 4" to dual 5" aussie stacks, 200hp injectors, FASS 150/150, Quadzilla Adrenaline, sps66/71/14, Valair dual disk w/ 3850 pressure plate, .093 injector lines and tubes, B&W gooseneck hitch, DMI spring hitch with custom built 2" receiver adapter. 1996 Peterbilt 379 EXHD, 500hp Cummins N14, 18spd Eaton, 3.55 rears, 235" wheel base, custom black over orange paint

For that price range, maybe an Ithaca or lower end Benelli, but a 930 is hard to beat, even by an 870.

I have a Benelli Nova, I was going to just buy the slug barrel for it, but it was almost just as much to buy a complete gun.

Here's an idea wishful idea. Benelli super black eagle II combo. I worked the gun counter at Gurnee Mills in IL. Bass pro shops for a while. This was the "to die for" shotgun. We didn't carry the combo with both barrels. Gander Mountain did. Pricey. My 870 works just fine for my budget. I also picked up a mossberg 835 for a ridiculous price at Wally world after they red tagged it. I usually check the gun case cause you never know what their getting rid of...

As stated in a previous post barrels as an afterthought are very pricey.

Look on gunbroker.com or auctionarms.com for a combo set. You might get lucky.

Happy Hunting

96 PSD almost virgin. ebay exhaust with "soot collector" delete. Ebay 1.00 turbo housing with wicked weasel. Sounds nice. Jasper E4OD trany. Banks transcommand. Steel horse seats going in soon. Gauges on the way. Mag Hytec tranny pan coming soon. This shall be the year of upgrades!!!

save the money on the gun, and put it towards the scope for that bad boy, I got a lot of glass sittin on top of my slug chucker, does a helluva job tossin remmington copper solids. Be prepared to spend a few hours with different brands of amo till ya find one that shoots outa your gun, then stick with it, price is nothing as long as it does its job. within reason of course.

I agree with the poster above who recommended a Benelli Nova. I have one and even though it's just about the ugliest thing I've ever hunted with, it's nice having at least one gun that's an absolute beater and that I don't give one one-millionth of a rat's azz if it gets scratched/dinged/beat up. I've never been able to get it to jam or malfunction and given how hard I've tried to do so, that says volumes about the Nova's durability.

The poster above who recommended the Benelli Nova is, ironically, the thread starter as well.

Read the whole thread people.

Dodgehunter,

Since you already have a Nova--if you like it, watch the used racks for one with a rifled barrel. If you buy used, no paperwork. Or, just buy the rifled barrel. Spendy, but ya know....

DOH! You got me there...

H1 Bomber, I have a Mossberg 695 and don't like it that well. The shells jam in the magazine and when my buddies and I put on drives I don't have enough shots.

Why Use a Slug Gun when you can use a 50 Caliber Rifle (Mussel Loader) with 150 Grain s of Powder , Drop a deer at 200 yards , no Slug guns going to do that

My buddy shots out to 200 yards with his. He uses Hornady SST slugs.

I don't think you can buy them new anymore, but if all you're wanting is a slug-chucker you may consider trying to find a Savage 210F bolt-action Slug Gun. Throw a 2-7 Leupold on top and watch the deer fall over from fright!


Guy at the shop has one and can put 5 Winchester Supreme's back into their box at 100 yds just shooting off a straw bale.

"Some people are like Slinkys. Pretty much worthless, but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs!"

never heard of anyone dropping a deer @ 200 yards with a shotgun

I could see it with a rifled barrel, modern sabot'ed slugs, and good glass but transferring that kind of accuracy from the range to the deer woods is story #2.
