Hunting with the Saiga-20

[EddieCar 0]

I've never been hunting before, a friend has envited me to go hunting

with him this Deer season. So I have a few questions.

 

Would the Saiga-20 be strong enough for Deer hunting?

(slugs ofcourse)

 

Could I get away with using 20 guage or should I just get

a 12 guage?

 

If I get a 12 guage should it be the the long barrel Saige 12

or could I get away with the shorter 19" version?

 

Thanks in advance.

I go hunting with a 20 guage pump... maybe I'll use a 12 guage this time... I would like to take the 20 guage, but first I need to find 3" slugs for the 20 guage... that would be sweet. It will kill a deer... I kill them with just one shot... I was taught one shot kill everytime. 20 guage will kill a deer if you shoot it right... aim right for heart and lungs... you'd be surprised... a 3" slug for the 20 guage is pretty cool also, but make sure your gun takes 3" first. I haven't been able to find 3" 20 guage slugs yet, for years I have been using 2.75" slugs with my 20 guage pump... one shot kill everytime... if I hit... if not... I keep shooting. I go bow hunting also.

Federal makes 3" slugs for 20 gauge. I saw them at Walmart $10 for five shells.

Yes my Saiga 20 does take 3" slugs. Looks like I'll be using 3" slugs this deer season .

Thank you for the info...

The 3" slugs that federal makes and that are at walmart are sabot slugs... I need rifled slugs since I use a smoothbore. Turkey hunting is probably fun with a saiga... my pump will have to do.
