Ive taken a couple deer with my 20 ush, but all were 40 yards or less. it shoots real nice groups at 100 yds at the range, though. I think that you would be real happy with either gun.
I shoot the lightfield slugs, and the recoil seems to be a little less than the other mag loads. I tried the Hornady slugs last year. they shot a little down and left form the lightfields, but still grouped well
