Slug gun promblems

  I am going to buy an H&R slug gun this year, but I am wondering how hard doe's an H&R slug gun kick, I am left handed so I can't buy the H&R thumehole, because it is made for right handers, I want to buy the H&R ultra light slug gun in a 12 gauge which has the ultragong rifling, but I am afraid that it could kick like a horse, because it is so light.  May be I should just buy an H&R slug gun in parabolic rifling if the accuracy is the same. 

please reply

I would suggest the USH in 20 gauge, a new ultra light 20 gauge. Another great choice would be a smoothbore 20 (or 12 with regular non-magnum slugs), both in a Tracker I if you can find one. They are all GREAT....<><....:)

My regular heavy USH recoils high and to the left even on a hard hold! I wouldn't want to shoot a lighter one!

It will do the job if you do your part but it is a 12ga shotgun they as long as the laws of physics are enforced it will have felt recoil. With the advancements in 20ga slugs I'd get a 20 it recoil were a concern. If you really want a thumbhole stock take a look at the stocks at www.gunstocksinc.com.

I'd much rather be remembered for being a great shot than having the most expensive gun

I have both a 12ga and 20ga USH.  The 12ga does recoil a bit!  The 20ga is very comfortable to shoot. 

I tried several different slug brands in the 20 ga and found two that will shoot 2" or less at 50 yds.  One is a low priced Remington and the other is the Lightfield.  The Lightfield is more accurate, but of course are quite a bit more expensive.  The groups varied from 1.5" to 6" at 50 yds depending on the slug brand, which really surprised me.

I purchased several brands of 12 ga but haven't shot them yet.  I did shoot some 12ga slugs I had and the groups at 50 yds were not impressive.

I have the H&R Ultra slugger in 12ga with the thumbhole stock....I never thought it would kick like it does...not recoil...but kick...It is the only gun I have ever owned that split my eyebrow open...I have a Leupold VXI 3x9x40 on it However it is a rifle scope amd has about 1/2 inch less eye relief .. I just got a Nikon Omega to put on a T/C 20 ga that I have on order..And am going to put one on the H&R also... It doesnt like SST at all does OK with lightfield's..But I have a few other brands to try as soon as I get the scope changed out. Depending on your needs. I would look at the ballistics's on the 20 and the 12 I understand they arr very close to 150+yds.... I keep thinking I need more...LOL...I am picking up my pro hunter 20 barrel tomorrow... Also the 12 has a 1 in 35 twist and the 20 has a 1 in 28...I have seen the 20 cut paper on TV with sst.....On A-Way Outdoor's program...My friends have the 20 and say it doesnt kick as bad as a 410.... After I get my USH12 and T/C dialed in I am going to get one of the new parabolic model's in 20 ga..I have some grandkids  that will be able to use it....Good Luck !
