I will soon be moving to Goldsboro NC, and am interested in getting a new shotgun for deer hunting.
I have specifically been pondering either a Mossberg 500 combo, or a Remington 870 combo. I won't make a final purchase until late July (most likely).
I think I would want the combo to have both a smooth bore for waterfoul...etc, and a rifled barrel for slugs.
Do most hunters prefer to use some sort of red dot scope, regular rifle scope or open sights? What sort of distance should I expect with a rifled barrrel?
I am new to both deer hunting and shotgun ownership, so take it easy on me.
