I have an 870P 20" with rifle sights that patterns and shoots KO's well.
I will be hunting whitetail this fall with a friend in his home state of Ohio, and so, must use a SG. I am trying to figure out the best route to go. His and his family setups are 20 ga. scoped rifled bores and he tells me they take deer between 100 and 125 yards. I am not convinced that I can take them past 50 or 75 with my setup.
I was looking at two options.
1) Practice, add a set of ghostrings, and not take distance shots I can't make
or
2) But something like the H&R slugger and put a scope on it.
Also, what would be an affordable scope/red dot?
I really want to stick with 12ga. and smooth bore... the H&R is rifled bore.
Any thoughts would greatly be appreciated.
Yes, budget is my main concern.
Best, COOP
