What do you think of this?

I do a ton of slug hunting for Mr. Whitetail and I have always thought of getting one of these beauties. I have a friend who has a bolt slug gun made by Savage and it throws a nice slug but.....there's just something about the wooden stocked Browning. Anyone have any opinion? I like the Marlin 512 too and it's available in a wood stock for much less. Anyone have any thoughts about the Marlin?

A $1500 shotgun won't necessarily shoot any better than a $300 shotgun with the same ammp. $1200 of the Browning's prices is the name. The quality of the 2 scopes and the wood has some to do with it too though. Simmons are low end. Still couldn't see spending $1500 for a bolt action shotgun. That's just nuts.
