6mmADL,
I just about bought a Savage bolt action 12 guage a couple of months ago, to to a conversion on just for fun. Then I remembered just how much fun slug shooting is, and quickly changed my mind. The gun sold for $40. My Highstandard shot really well. But nothing like the Rifle Browning A bolt I have now. Smooth bores can be accurate enough to 100 yds for sure. I have taken a pounding over the years, but one of the nicest rigs I've shot, was the Remington 11-87 Deer gun. Had the Cantilever barrel. Real nice. One more thing, Slug guns are tough on glass. I found a straight 6x Leupold to be more than enough. A straight power scope in my opinion holds up to recoil of slug guns much better ( at least I've had fewer problems than my friends) Good Luck.
