    Nice looking good king shooting iron AB. The first deer I ever killed with a rifle was a Marlin 336 chambered in .35 Remington. Other than my trusty model 870, that’s as close to a Remington rifle I’ve ever owned.

    Fantastic shotgun for the price. The pump is a little rough, meaning you have to pump hard to avoid a jam. It is smooth to shoot and very nice to carry, as well as shooting straight. I have used it with great success hunting ducks and upland bird. The gun comes with a modified choke. I've tried using it for deer, shooting rifled slugs, but it's only accurate out to about 40 yards. Easy to clean, easy to assemble. No advanced accessories available, like a rifled barrel. You can do smaller accessories, like slings, etc. Not a better gun in the price range.

    I bought the Stevens 320. when my local had it on rollback, it was a great deal. It is well made, and light enough ( the Pardner while a great shotgun is very heavy). It fires nice. I cleaned it and lubed it before I shot it, you should too. I can find some accessories but it is not real easy. I got it for home defense and maybe turkey on shot and javalina on slugs. I am very happy. Walmart had their asst-manager tape the box closed and escort me all the way to my car, which I think is smart and safe on their part. I was impressed with Walmart here. Some others at the counter were waiting forever for approval, mine came back in 5-8 minutes, and we started on the paper work. Remember they cannot sell until they get the approval on your background check and be patient.

    I'm not familiar with it AB. I do know I'll never buy another Mossberg. I got one for my older boy the Christmas he turned 15 and it's such a piece of crap I'm afraid to let him hunt with it. He did a science fair project with it that winter involving choke tubes, pattern density and velocity or some such. Shooting that thing off a rest at a patterning target the action would spring open every time you shot it unless you held it closed with your off hand. WTF!

    What model? I’ve got an 835 ulti- mag (3 1/2 inch ball buster) that I really like.
    I even spent the coin for a slug barrel for that gun that I took a deer with down at Radford.
