I had the same problem, I would go with the Rossi matched pair ....It comes with a 12 guage rifled slug barrel and a 50 cal muzzle loader.....You should beable to pick this up 4 about $225.00--$250.00.....I have another one of there matched pairs...22cal, 20 guage and you couldn't buy mine from me, it payed 4 it self the first year I had it.......Yes it is a single shot, but since you are used to bow hunting this shouldn't be anything diffrent thatn what you are allready used to......here's the web site 4 you to check out....rossiusa.com.....No they are not the flashiest guns out there but they sure did the job that i needed last year,...3 deer, 25+ rabbits, 2 turkey and alot of phesants.......Its a working manss gun at a working mans price......Good luck....

A good shotgun for less than $300 could be hard to find. I have a Mossberg 835 model 12 gauge. I got it at Wal-Mart for $325. I really like it, I have killed several deer with it and other game animals. It will shoot slugs and 2 1/2" or 3" buckshot shells. I would look for this gun on the internet or a Bass Pro Shop and buy it because for the price it is a great gun.

Id look at a Remington 870 Express. they run around $300 give or take $30. If your Walmart sells guns, you can get one cheap there. If it is too high, my next choice would be a Mossberg 500. they are normally around $250 give or take $30 again. If you still cant find one, id just start looking for a used shotgun. If you want to shot over 100 yards, you should get a rifled barrel, but they normally run almost $150. If you can get a rifled barrel, dont go cheap on slugs, get good ones.

If you have a friend that knows about guns,You may be in the market for a used shot gun. A Rem 870 is good if you can find a good used one for that price, I doubt it though. I would go with new though A Mossburg 500 new is close to that amount if you buy it at a Wall-mart.( maybe a slight bit more). Down the road you can buy other barrels for it. A riffled slug barrel and they even make a black powder barrel for it( cabalas). usually barrels are around 200.

Well i have a benelli nova. it costs $300 you could use regular slugs for that. on my gun i have a rifled barrel which cost me $150 and than i got a luepold scope which cost $180 but it came with a lifetime warrenty. so far i have shot two running deer and droped both of them i love my set. this set up will last me forever. but back to the budget I used by benelli just as i bought it for two or three years before i got the money to get the others. so you can use this gun and than as you get more spending money you get other things

This is an easy one. A Remington SPR 220 Cowboy shotgun in 12 gauge. Plenty of power with slugs. It's what I use. I paid $270 for mine new. It's an excellent, dependable, and accurate shotgun, even loaded with slugs.

I think that Remington 870 is a great shotgun for under $300. This is the best shotgun that I have owned for the price.

Mossberg Model 500 in 12 gauge, or an H&R Handi-Rifle with a 12 gauge barrel installed. Then you can have other rifle barrels fitted at a modest cost.

Remington 870!
They are the best most reliable pump guns ever made. One that I use for slug hunting now, my father purchased USED in 1952 or 1953!

no longer something incorrect with that Marlin for short-selection taking photos. For deer i admire the Remington seven-hundred in .25-06 Remington using the one hundred fifteen to a hundred and twenty grain top rate looking bullets. Works each and every time. That or the .270 Winchester. in accordance to Chuck Hawks draw back index the .25-06 with a hundred and twenty grain bullets produces 12.5 lbs. of draw back and the .270 sixteen.5 lbs. with the a hundred thirty grain rounds. The a hundred and fifty grain .270 in straight forward terms produces 17.0 lbs. of felt draw back. The lightest recoiling 12 gauge produces 17.3 lbs. of felt draw back. So there you have it. H
