[QUOTE="AlongCameJones, post: 3595122, member: 47875"] If decide to scope the gun, I will have to order the cantilever barrel. It might be more prudent to go with a scope for a slug gun after all. I doubt a slug gun (rifled barrel with sabot slugs) will even give anywhere near MOA accuracy like many modern CF rifles can these days. I now think a scope will give as much shooting precision as possible for a slug gun which will never dare compete with a modern bolt-action rifle or even a Savage 99 for group tightness. If I buy the slug barrel with cantilever mount it will be rifled so I can't run fosters through it? Should I try running fosters through my 28" smoothbore field (fowl) barrel with front and mid beads? My general thoughts are: 1. Iron sights are inferior to scopes for longer-range pinpoint precision. and 2. Slug guns are inferior to rifles for level of group tightness. An iron-sighted slug gun might therefore be a double whammy when trying to place a precise shot on a 100-yard deer. A scoped slug gun in Oklahoma deer woods shouldn't be much of a marksmanship handicap over a rifle (scoped or iron-sighted) though. I need to study up more on shotgun scopes. [/QUOTE]
