I’m a little late replying to this but i have to tell you. I hunt in Oklahoma with a rifle. I just returned from New York from a deer hunt in the southern zone shotgun or muzzle loader only. I used a family member’s remington 11-87 special purpose 12 ga. with rifled barrel with winchester partition gold sabot slugs and 3x9x40 scope. Killed one deer at 125 yds and another at 200 yds. Sounds fishy i know but it is the honest truth. I was very impressed with this set up. Uncle has 20 ga. also and he sights both in at 100 yds. Usually about inch high at 100. If i ever have to use a shotgun again this will be the set up. 2″ groups at 100yds and dropped a deer at 200yds never thought it possible but uncle was harassing me for passing up long shots, said it would do it if i could shoot it.
