Maverick 88 for the range and HD

Ok going to revive this thread because I did a few more mods to my mav88 recently. Bought a light finally, but cheaped out and got a NCstar off amazon. I really wanted a streamlight but with another child two months away priorities have taken over. Actually much better built than I expected and bright as hell. It will only see rounds in an HD scenario so if it lasts one shot I'm happy.

I decided maybe next season the maverick may do triple duty, HD, trap, and hunting. I picked up at wally world yesterday a weaver rail kit for scope mounting. Friend suggested Bushnell banner scope for about 75 bucks. Need to do some research. I have a BSA on a Savage Axis 30-06 which I like as well.

My 28" field barrel has a modified choke, is that OK for slugs? Same friend suggested a reticle scope for HD duty, is that being ridiculous?

First out,congrats on the new baby on the way. :)

You should be fine with the modified choke and slugs.

Scope for HD,,,,can't see any use for it.

Thank you Mossy! Have a 3yr old son at home and this will be my first daughter.

Great, I know sabots are no go but I was looking at some Hornady slugs.

Neither can I. He is a big AR fan and has a reticle red dot sight on one of them which is really cool but for a shotty I don't think so.
