I'm really wanting to add a 20 ga slug barell to the mix and I want some opinions from you that have them. Which one should I get?
Thomson-Center?
Bergara?
EAB?

I've heard some really good stuff about the Remington AcuTips. The Pro Hunter barell is high on the list but I'm a bit leary of a 28" barell. First I don't think they need to be that long to maximize ballistics and second the likelyhood of barell whip concerns me. But it's nice to hear that my concerns may be unfounded.

Hey Furchaser, totally agree with you. I have used a 12ga. 28" SS PH fluted for the last 6+ yrs. until this past year when I was "LUCKY" enough to pick up a 20ga. PH. As you will see, these 20ga. PH Fully rifled slug barrels are like "gold" and well worth the investment. It is next to impossible to find them used OR new!! Vitually as rare as finding those PH barrels in 22LR. Every once in a while you'll run into a standard 26" but these 28" PH almost never come up for sale. When they do, you will pay a premium $$$$$!
As for ammo, you will see in plenty of my earlier threads that I'm advocate of "LIGHTFIELD - HYBRID 2-3/4 SABOT SLUGS". They are a bit pricey as with any sabot these days but super flat shooting with sub. 1.5"-2" groups at 125 yds. NO problem!! Check out their websight "www.litfld.com". These sabots are absolutely NO BULL and knock them down like a bag of hammers. If you hunt special regulated area's like I do here in Mushroom country (S.E. Pa./Slug Country) - you'll have plenty of meat in the freezer guaranteed! Be sure to sight your gun/scope in per the website instructions.
As for the vendor of choice "www.natchezss.com" down in TN. They are having a blow out sale on these right now. Don't forget to checkout their Nikon refurb's and Leupold blem's/S&D. I'm pretty sure you won't find too many retailers/online sights that will touch their prices. Happy Holidays!! Kimbo

Looks like the search has ended about as fast as it started! NO ONE (distributors) has these in stock! You would think they were gold! Obviously very, very popular.
