Ultra Slug
« on: March 23, 2004, 12:26:30 PM »
Been looking at the Ultra Slug gun ( for the placeses that are shot gun only) is it worth the difference between the Ulrta with the hardwood stock or the Ultra Deluxe with the laminated stock.  I don't wonted to rush things I only got till this fall to make up my mind but every body needs a project. :biggun:

That depends only on personal preference. I have 3 guns with lam stocks and I just plain like the way they look. With a break action gun the lam stock isn't going to effect accuracy. I guess I'd say it's worth a few more bucks.

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

I just purchased the Ultra Slug Hunter Deluxe (actually a NEF limited edition which is the exact same gun) with laminate stock and really like the look.  I can't wait to get it out to the range.  From all I've read (mostly here and on the old HR1871 forum) you (nor I) will be disappointed in this gun ... laminate or not!

I prefer the laminate stock on my guns but that is up to you...The Ultra Slug Deluxe also has the cut checkering and the regular Ultra Slug does not.  If that makes a difference to you then I would go with the Deluxe.  If I were buying a Ultra Slugger I would go for the Deluxe without a hesitation...It just looks cool.

My preference is also the laminate stock ... its worth the extra $ to me, as it just looks good.

I have the Ultra with the camo colored laminated stock and love that gun. It may be a load to still hunt with but it is by far the most accurate slug gun I have shot. I use Lightfield slugs and have it topped with a Tasco World Class 50mm scope and can consistantly hold 2" groups at 100 yrds and deadly at 125+yrds. Sweet gun IMO.
