I cant decide on which barrel to get, they are all so good. I hunt at close range, 100 yards being a long shot.
1 24" rifled slug barrel w/ scope mount
. I like scopes
. Scope always in alignment
. easy to reload for
. accuracy to +150 yards
- this would be good for long range shooting, however with a proper low power scope it would be great in low light close range conditions, without the cost of the rifle sight cousin.
2 18 1/2" smooth bore w/ iron sights
. 3 1/2" chamber for light fields slugs, and mag buckshot
. home defense capabilities (intruders wont like a 3 1/2" mag of #2 buckshot)
. great for in brush, or blinds
. accuracy to 100 yards
- this barrel would be good because I hunt in blinds and stands mostly, a shotgun w/ 28" barrel is hard to maneuver. With light feilds 3 1/2" slugs, any deer within 100 yards I wouldn't expect to get far.
3 24" rifled slug barrel w/ iron sights (Ithaca barrel)
. nice fiber optic sights
. no-rust matte barrel
. easy to reload for
. accuracy to 125 yards
- this barrel would be good with its glow sights because I hunt in a kind of dark area, but I just don't need that much range, and this tends the be the most expensive
