Hi all,
I'm going hog hunting and I have to carry a shotgun on the game lands because it's turkey season. But no problem, a 12 gauge slug should take carry of anything in NC anyway.
I got a set of tru-glo rifle sights that attach to the rib on the barrel and they're great, really easy to see.
I went down to the store and picked up some Remington Sluggers. Not top of the line by any means, but we're just talking 75 yard absolute maximum and probably closer to 30 or 40 yards.
Well, went down to the range to see how it's all working. At 25 yards, they're 1.5 - 2 inches high. Ok, they grouped decently, so I can deal with that. Went over to the 50 yard range. Now I'm shooting 5 inches low! I knew that they dropped quite a bit, but this is just crazy. The box says 1.5 inch low at 25 gives you dead on at 50. I was high at 25. What's up here?
I'm shooting a Remington 870 with a 28 inch smooth barrel and modified choke. I thought about getting a cylinder choke but most of the info on the internet said that either would work, with the cylinder choke usually better than the modified.
