I get the impression that a lot of people have outdated notions of what H&R/NEF shotguns are like and don't realize that A) many of them are fairly heavy and B) they come with a variety of stocks that fit better than they once did.
Do you have an "ultra slug hunter" or "ultra light slug hunter?" The ultra slug hunter is listed at 8-9 pounds which is actually heavier than most hunting shotguns. A gas auto would still help, but if it's a choice of a 7-lb. auto or a 9 pound single shot, the difference may not be significant.
Now if you have the ultra light slug hunter (listed at 5 1/4 lbs.) then you should definitely consider something else.
Lastly, I would personally be happy with any slug gun that allowed me to take deer out to 150 yards. I think 200 would be a real stretch.
