Just bought my Tracker II 20g a few weeks back in Olathe, Kansas (KC Metro area) from my local gun shop it was $175+tax. Dick's quoted me $150+tax but they would have to special order it. I think the Tracker II offers great value, and with a few cheap modifications makes it a great slug gun.
So here we go, I made my mods - 20oz #8 shot in the butt bolt hole. 1-2oz of #8 in some shallow holes drilled into the forearm. Limbsaver Slip-on #10546.
Remember, first trip out it killed my shoulder. This trip - 12-15 rounds with no apparent pain or injury. One day later, it is a little tender where the butt meets the shoulder. I had my 14 year old shoot 2 rounds - his first two shots of anything - with a very hot barrel at 25 yards he hit the outer ring with the first, then on the second barely outside the bullseye.
Slugs used - Winchester Super X Rifles slugs - we could never tell if they ever hit the 25 yard target or if they were all going thru the same hole. Remington Sluggers, noticeably less bang and push, but, my first shot on cold barrel hit the outer rings, the second was a bullseye at 25 yards.
Next time I go out I am going to be disciplined and shoot three, let the barrel cool off, then three more, one brand at a time, so I will have Winchester, Remington and Federal results.
Regarding the lucky kid that got the slugger, I would not have let my 14 year old shoot it before I made the modifications for me, and then I still think it is too much for an inexperienced young shooter. But I did enjoy the fact that he was zeroing in on his second shot.
Cheers...
