My buddy has a 870 and I am amazed by how balanced that thing is, but before I drop 300+ I want to make sure that I am getting the best for that 300+.
I was looking at the H&R heavy barrel slug gun at Gander. I was wanting a 12 gauge though. Might do a 20 if the set up and price is right.
20g is far better for deer hunting, a 20g shoots much flatter and kills just the same.
Folks to over think weapon and deer hunting, deer are very easy animals to kill once you've pulled the trigger.
My preference:

I have had great success with mine since they became legal.
