N.e.f. Tracker ii slug gun quality?
i have a chance at a good deal at a local shop i think. they have a new nef tracker 2 slug gun for $139 down from the regular $209. the gun is brand new but old stock, it is a nef made in gardner mass. the store is selling the gun as they said they've had it a few years. is this a good deal?, i have been looking for a slug gun. is this a good gun? thanks

Not a gentleman's arm to be sure but a well made gun they are... And to some extent, these are the Contender of the shotgun world in that to some degree there are various barrels for each receiver class... $139 is going rate for an NEF baseline walmart shelf 12 gauge...

FWIW, "NEF" and "quality" shouldn't be used in the same sentence/thought - but they ARE decent deer-gettin' tools, and a very good value (more bang for your buck, if you'll pardon the pun).

i have one more question and if the answer is what i need then i'm going to get it in the morning. i am on a very tight budget and have never been able to see giving $10 or more for 5 sabot slugs. i get the remington sluggers $9.47 for 15 of them, can i shoot the regulars slugs in the tracker ll ? and if so will it shoot them accurate?, my shots at deer will be under 100yds most shots at 50 or less. thanks

Some folks in this thread getting good or better than good results putting "pumpkin slugs" thru a rifled barrel with great results... Brent |

well i got good news then bad news, (GOOD NEWS) i went to get the gun today and the guy at the store said since the gun had been there awhile and the lighter guns don't sell good i could get it for $125otd WOW so i bought it. (BAD NEWS) i get it home load a slug in it and pull the trigger, the gun fires the breaks open and ejects the empty well i tried a second shell same thingi took it back and they gave me a refund. i liked it too, it handeled great if it just wasn't breaking down when shooting. the factory should have caught this. thanks
