That's good deal for the shotgun with two barrels.

I've been looking for a slug for some time too. I shot my Rem 870 with some cheap old Rem Slugger 2 3/4 shells. With the bead at 50yds I was touching holes. I can't imagine what it would do with a scope on it.

Then I started looking at ammo. The new slugs from Remington are insanely expensive. So what I'm going to do is get a smooth bore with a cantilever scope mount and just shoot the rifled slugs. Cheaper and seems just as accurate.

So if it were me, I'd wait...who am I kidding, I'd get the shotgun anyway.
