Slug barrel.

[SBE2]

I was consedering getting an R1 for thick brush deer and hog, but hte more I thought about it seemed a little to expensive for me. My dad got me two SBE2s, one comfortech one steady grip, and he said from now on I will have to buy my own guns so the R1 is a little pricey, and a slug seems like it would penetrate brush more easly without exploding like a rifle bullet. So I may get a slug barrel for my steady grip because I will only use the steady grip for turkey if I don't get a slug barrel for it. And I was woundering what was others opinoin on benelli slug barrel accuracy, power, and what type of scope.

Any bullet will be deflected by brush ... that's ANY. The slug barrel is good for about 200 yards with a sabot slug it likes. I have a quality 3-9x42 scope on mine but a 2-7 would be fine. An illuminated dot on your scope might be an added plus, and do double duty as turkey optics too. I would tend to think the comfortech would be the better bet for shooting the slugs, particularly if you're jump shooting while walking through brush. Besides, slugs can kick pretty stoutly. NICE DAD!!! I hope you appreciate him.

I am not to worried about the kick because whenever I see game I have an immediate, complete ardenaline rush to take care of recoil, plus being beaten up will deepsea fishing helps to. I know it will deflect but I have read that high velocity bullets (like a .270, what I shot for deer0 have the possiblity of exploding. If i do get a slug barrel I'll just get a 2-7. Because if I'm going to take long shots I'll use my new .270 All-Weather Ruger I got deer season before last. And yes I do appreciate my dad. So far he has gotten me every gun I have wanted. He thinks guns, hunting, and fishing are good healthy parts of life.
