ive killed tons of deer with my mossy 500 12ga. started with the smooth bore slugger barrel, then went with a rifled barrel. never needed a scope for shotguns.
the 12ga has a bit more effective range than the 20ga.
i started deer hunting with a new england single shot 20ga smooth bore. it too killed many deer.
i would go 12 just for the much wider variety of shells and slugs.
either is plenty for deer.
