20 GA single shot

[wch]

Which of those currently available would you suggest?
Multiple uses in mind, no restrictions as far as price concerns.

As far as a slug gun, I bought a CVA Hunter 20g and with Lightfield slugs she is extremely accurate. Only downside it is so light it will rock you with recoil.

Are you set on new? Lots and lots of good older ones out there cheap. H&Rs are good, I prefer the Savage/Stevens models 994 and the hammerless 220s.

I'd look for one of the old Winchester single shots.

I have had two Savage 24V o/u rifle shotguns for at least 50 years. I have gotten deer, ducks, pheasant, coyotes, rabbits, but not a bear with the 30/30 over 20 gauge (a work in progress). Savage makes a new one called a Model 42 now. You might take a look. They list at $500. They are heavy but exceedingly useful for rifled slugs especially now with the shotgun barrel with rifle sights on top.

^^+1 on the Savage 24. Mine is a 357/20 gauge and it is a great woods walking rifle.

+ 1 for the H&R's. The older ones were built like tanks.

They are virtually indestructible and simple. I just like the handling characteristics of the Savage and Stevens models a little better, but will probably acknowledge that the H&Rs are probably more durable.

For current production, these look good, though I've never handled one;

A used H&R Topper will run about $100 and you won't find a better single shot. My 490 Jr. Topper has seen continual use since 1972.

Remington 1100 with ONLY one shell in the gun
If necessary, put in a LONG shot plug to insure only
one shell in the gun

I really like the H&R's. I have a Winchester 37A that I really like too...
