A 12 gauge shotgun with both a smoothbore barrel that uses screw-in choke tubes,
And a dedicated SLUG BARREL, rifled bore, preferably cantilevered and permanently wearing a low-variable-power scope... would be a fine deer /hog /bear gun for most people, including me.
A rifled-bore shotgun with saboted slugs can hit a deer's vials at 200 yards.
And still impact with over 1000 foot-pounds of kinetic energy.
