I have always wanted a side by side double barrel rifled slug gun with express sights to use as a "poor mans safari rifle" for deer and bear in "shotgun only" hunting areas. . . maybe someday.
Looks like your scope wasn't quite zeroed. I don't know why else your grouping would be tight in the same place. That speaks well for the accuracy of the actual round you're shooting.
I think perhaps I'd look at this as more of an odd duck, rather than a collectible. It's not that there's anything wrong with it, I just don't see the situation where this is the one right tool for the job.
Very cool... I bought mine 2 years ago and it dont even say hastings 3.5 on the barrel I must have one of the first run editions... It only says 3" but it shoots the 3.5" Ive killed a 8 point and a doe with it and very little tracking on the buck and dropped the doe in her tracks. I love it for where Im at in Southern Michigan... just as accurate as a muzzleloader and I can reload a whole lot faster... Good shooting all...
@getjagged 20 gauge slug is the single most underrated hunting round on the planet. It will put a grizzly down in one shot and do so very quickly with a center of mass shot.
@scamperscamper1 I live in MY state, and just about everyone up here hunts with a rifle.....so I don't know where you got your information from. Theres a guy up here in my town that hunts with a semi-auto .30-06 that borders on being an M14.
@lexmark136 Because it infact is a 20 gauge shotgun. The slug is so heavy and so massive that the range will be much less than that of a centerfire rifle round that is 1/4 the weight and much more aero dynamic.
@joedinaadi IF you use a sabot slug it will do very well on a deer inside 75 yards. Any other type of ammo will not be preferable for deer at any range.
no one guy said its respectable in accuracy usually if your shooting shot the pattern is everywhere but the slug there has a very tight grouping which is good im 15 and i trap and skeet shoot every week championships start this saterday
It depends on where you live, here in California it goes:
18- for Shotguns (with a stock) and Semi-Auto rifles with a stock.
21- for any handgun, pistol gripped shotguns, sawn off weapons, machine guns, high powered rifles.
Restricted- Any gun that fires an explosive based projectile longer then 13 mm. 50 BMG's (only the BMG's, does not apply to any other .50 cal), anti-tank weapons.
This slug is strickly designed for hunting of large game in areas where rifles are not permisible. It is not a round used for blowing someone's head off.
thats pretty good,its accurate,and easy to handle,and it can cause a good amount of damage.
but id rather have the 12 gauge,its more short ranged, n its harder to handle with all that blowback, But u dont really need to aim with it,the BBs spread out like a few feet. and from close range it can cause massive destrucion, the 12 gauge can basically blow someones head off, the 20 gauge couldn't(assuming from what ive seen in this video)
If its a shot barrel and not a slug barrel, you should be fine as long as the choke is modified or bigger. I don't think you can use a full choke if you wanna shoot slugs.
I would suggest shooting this round before commenting. Certainly a 30-06 would be great in areas that you can legally hunt. But as most north Eastern States that is not possible so we are left to develope a round that will perform with similar performance for 100 to 200 yard shots. We have the ballistics data to backup the video......
This round has devistating effects on the very short range shot. Looks like we get the best of both worlds.
I understand, this is a very unique round and performs very well, even in adverse conditions. Muzzle velocity is comparable to some high power rifles. For a shotgun this is really amazing. If you ever get a chance to shot one take the opportunity. You will be surprised.
if you have a gun can you get it custom made
